Welcome to another week of CASEing the Catty, this week we are taking inspiration from the Babies & Kids section of the catalogue. This is such a cure section, but don't be misled that the only inspiration is for kids cards.
I didn't use it to make a baby card however. I thought the white embossed images would work perfectly for a card for my husband who has two faviourite animals, one is the cheetah and the other is, you guessed it, hedgehogs! As soon as I saw the hostess set Love You Lots, with these two cute little hedgehogs I knew it would be in my first order. The lady beetles in the background are also from the same stamp set, however the sentiment is stamped and punched using the Thoughtful Banners Bundle.
I discovered that the spacing is just perfect on the "I love you" stamp for me to colour just the "I" and "you" and stamp them leaving a little gap.
The gap is perfect for the cursive "love" to sit perfectly in between them and makes it extra easy to add a pop of colour.
Would you like to join in the fun? Just get inspired by one of the projects in the Babies & Kids section of the catalogue and add your project link to the main blog above.
Happy Stamping

ReplyDeleteVery cute card Monique! The red cursive 'Love' really pops on the banner, what a great idea to swap the fonts.
ReplyDeleteoh Monique that's just gorgeous. Great CASE
ReplyDeleteMonique, these little bugs and hedgehogs are just so darn cute, really love your take on this.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Monique, this is seriously gorgeous. What colour did you use to colour the images? LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteHi Bronwyn, I can't remember exactly but I think the lady bugs were in blushing bride. The hedgehogs were a bit more complicated as I built the colour up until I was happy. I think I started with Sahara Sand on their tummy, then a mix of crumb cake and soft suede on their spikes.
DeleteI love how you have turned it from a baby card into an amazing card for your husband. Great idea to combine stamp sets to create the sentiment. Looks fab!!
