Pretty Pink Posh - Elephant Baby Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back today with this lovely baby card featuring, as always, a whole bunch of images from different sets. I had so much fun going through my entire Pretty Pink Posh collection to find the stamps that would match my baby theme!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Elephant Friends for the elephants • Holiday Stockings for the teddy bear • Spring Robins for the branches • Dinosaur Friends for the leaves • Jungle Friends for the flowers, leaves and ivy • Baby Basics for the rattle • Easter Signs for the pinwheel • Baby for the onesie, bottle, bib, hearts and safety pins.

I cut a Strathmore bristol smooth slimline panel using the largest Slimline Peekaboo Windows die, and colored it using oxide inks. From top to bottom, I applied tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade and dried marigold. And I made this background more interesting by using the Mini Polka Dots stencil along with, from top to bottom, salty ocean, mustard seed and carved pumpkin oxide inks. Next I added texture to my panel, starting with water droplets that I dried with a paper towel. I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water, used a small brush to add splatters to my piece of paper, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Once my panel was dry, I stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts to make them shine. I white heat embossed my "Congrats on the new baby" greeting from Sentiment Strips: Occasions, cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, attached my panel on top using double sided tape, and finally stuck everything on a kraft card base.
