STAMPIN' UP! BABY CARD IN PINK AND GREY

 I am trying to build up my stash of baby cards, as I find I'm entering the stage of life in which several of my friends are becoming grandparents.  Such a special time; I just love sharing in their joy.

When I first saw Stampin' Up!'s Brilliant Rainbow Dies, I knew they'd be ideal for baby cards.  How's this for a bit of cuteness?

To a panel of Blushing Bride card, I added Basic White die-cut clouds.  I'd used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the white card before die-cutting it, so the clouds came out like stickers.  After placing the clouds where I wanted them, I ran this piece through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, inside the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  I think the embossed pattern looks a bit like a blanket.

Using a Stitched Rectangle Die, I cut a piece of Basic White card, that I then embossed with a Dotty Hearts Embossing Folder.  This piece fits nicely inside the Scalloped Contours frame, cut from Smoky Slate card.

I have used Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate Designer Series Papers for my rainbow.  I added Foam Adhesive Sheet to the reverse side of the papers before cutting them with one of the Brilliant Rainbow Dies.  A couple of extra die-cut clouds were slipped under the rainbow, and embellished with Polished Dots.  Here's a close-up of all the sweet details:

The sentiment, from the All For Baby stamp set, was stamped on a scrap of Basic White card, using Blushing Bride ink, and the Stamparatus - this allowed me to re-ink and stamp it a few times, to get good colour saturation.  I cropped the sentiment with a smaller Stitched Rectangle Die.

Listed below are the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
