Pastels

This baby card done in pastels is for the Color Throwdown Challenge this week which included celery, barely banana, pretty in pink, and blush blossom. Since I needed a few baby cards I thought these colors were perfect for one. The sketch is from this weeks sketch for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #83.  I haven't had as much time for stamping this week, so I did some combining of challenges, which I don't usually do too much. The banana background was embossed as was the blush strip. The onsie stamp is from Flourishes and is paper pieced from a piece of Basic Grey design paper. The bottom mat is actually the cover of one of my Basic Grey design pads front that shows the samplings of the papers in the pad. Thought it would be great to recycle it rather just throw it away.

Stampin' Sister in Christ Challenge #8

This is for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge #8, which was to do a baby card. I used Flourishes' Baby Love set. I love this bassinet and the sweet verse. I also used Flourishes' basket weave stamp for the background. I used regal rose ink and some SU design paper and some Basic Grey design paper using my nestabilities to cut the shapes. The white paper is from Paper Trey Ink. The verse is stamped in Memento's black tuxedo.

I spent last week without electricity because of Hurricane Ike. We were fortunate to have had very little damage at our house, but the 10 days without power were rather trying. It's good to be back and uploading. :) God is good and teaches us many things even in these trials.

I am in love with the new pink pirouette paper from Stampin' Up. It is so soft and so pretty. This card I did for the DSKETCH0908 on Splitcoaststampers and also for the Ways to Use challenge this week on SCS as well. It was to make use of a charm on the card.
