Monochromatic Pinks and a Triple Challenge

It's a 4-day work week! Crazy how early Easter is this year! But I'm not complaining :) Nice to have a stat holiday in March. I've had quite the productive weekend. Made lots of Mother's Day cards, gift card holders and my latest paper creation -- flower pot cards! I love these!

Definitely making more of these for the upcoming craft show! I found simple instructions on how to make these here.

For today's card I combined a couple challenges. Dynamic Duos has a monchromatic colour combo this week and Friday Mashup has a triple challenge (brayering, sketch, and butterflies).

1. Make a project using the "Sketch".

2. Or Make a project using "Butterflies & Your Brayer".

3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project with "your Brayer using the Sketch and add some Butterflies"

 

I decided to mash it up and use all three along with the monochromatic pinks. This challenge encouraged me to take out my brayer (it was still in its original package!). I love sponging, but brayering is definitely an easier way to spread ink over a larger surface. I embossed Whisper White cardstock with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder and brayered it with Crumb Cake ink. I like how it makes the embossed image stand out.

 

I added Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink designer paper for the background. I completed the card with butterflies and taffeta ribbon. I think it makes the perfect birthday card for a little girl!

A Baby Carriage Card

Good morning!
Hope you all remembered to turn your clocks ahead 1 hour! I do not enjoy losing an hour, but it is another sign that spring is on it's way!
I didn't accomplish a whole lot yesterday... but I did get to go on another fun date with my hubby! We went to go see "Oz" in the theatre. It was a fun, creative, imaginative movie! I loved it.

For today's post, I'm going to share a fun-folded card that I made for Kevin's sister and brother-in-law, congratulating them on the birth of their new baby girl. It's in the shape of a baby carriage!

How cute is that? And SO easy to make. I found this great video tutorial on pinterest, giving step-by-step instructions -- Baby Stroller by Night Owl Stamper. Check it out!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Sunday!
