VLVApril2014 & Curtain Call - Welcome Little One

Saw this fun sketch over at Viva La Verve, week2 and thought it would be perfect to create a little baby card and also join the Curtain Call - Confetti Crush which I've been wanting to do and saw I still have some time to join the fun.

Here is my card below:

I needed to create a baby girl welcome card and since I had the stamp set: To The Moon (Verve) out on my desk, I thought perfect!! Now looking at it, it could be for a little girl or boy with the colors. Also, my idea was to only use the Crumb Cake and Pink color scheme, but I just couldn't resist but to add in some more color.

Sequins seem to be in a trend right now and when I saw the challenge of Confetti Crush over at the Curtain Call Challenge, I knew I had do use some of my pastel sequins mix (Verve) for this card. Plus got inspiration from the cute photo and incorporated polka dots using the Seeing Dots embossing folder and the DSP paper stack - Subtles (SU).

Here are the markers I used:

Giraffe - CT2, CT3, CT4, TN7

MOJO Monday 340 & Diva Dare - Welcome Little Boy

Trying to get back into the swing of what I love most which is creating cards and let me tell you it felt good to create. This one is for the MOJO Monday 340 sketch challenge and the Diva Dare for the month of April 2014.

Here is my card: 

Had some fun with this cute stamp set from Verve called: To the Moon which has lots of fun baby items and sentiments. Therefore, it was perfect to also join this month's Diva Dare which is to create a baby or kids themed card.

Using some of my paper, this one called Fan Fare (ctmh) and combined it with Sunny Yellow, Holiday Red, Sky, and Pacifica cardstock (ctmh). For the base, I used Blueprints 13 from MFT and Blueprints 12 for the sentiment. This also gave me another change to play with coloring! Don't want to forget, for the stars I used the Starry Die from Verve.

Bear: TN7, TN5, TN2
