Bring on The Blue Baby Card

This is a card for a friend's baby shower. It's based on the Simon Says Polka challenge. 

I needed a baby card for a friend and still had the blue polka dot paper sitting on my desk since last week when I made the Sweet Treats card. I'm really loving this DP. It's from DCWV DIY Favor box collection. I wasn't a big fan of DCWV paper in the past, but this one is double sided, heavier paper and I love the colors in the stack. The "bump" on the image is paper pierced and the rest is colored with copics. I also added some glitter accents with Wink of Stella pen. 

After making the card I couldn't resist adding a coordinating tag and vellum envelope. Thanks for looking.
Supplies:

• Stamps: MFT Baby Bump
• Paper: DCWV DIY Favor Boxes
• Tools:MFT Stitched Scallop Edges

Wildflowers and Bicycles

I love April in Texas. The weather is gorgeous. The wildflowers are everywhere. I did a fun 42 mile charity bike ride for Autism this past weekend and was in awe of how nice it was outside. Well, that's my inspiration for the Bellarific Friday Mojobella card this week - bicycle and flowers.

The sketch was very detailed and I decided to follow it pretty closely. The image is colored with Copics and I stayed with the flower inspired colors. Thanks for looking and happy spring!

Supplies:

• Stamps: Stamping Bella Flora and Her Bicycle, PTI  One Big Happy Stamp

Baby Girl Bear Bugs

This card is based on the MFTWSC274 sketch. I usually use MFT stamps for their challenges, but I needed to make a quick baby card and had my heart was set on the Mama Elephant Bear Hugs set. I used MFT die though.

The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and background is sponged with ink. I'm still getting used to coloring with these pencils and how the color changes when gamsol is applied. The shadows turned out to be a lot more subtle than when I first colored the image.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Mama Elephant Bear Hugs
• Tools: MFT Dienamics Inside & Out Diagonal Stitched Rectangle STAX, Gelly Roll silver pen
