Baby Girl Cards

Hey peeps!  Happy Spring!  FINALLY!  Let’s hope it sticks!  My niece had a little girl earlier this week and the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge this week was this pretty inspiration photo:

I found a sweet little image from a Crafty Secret note pad and cut it down to fit the Mojo Monday sketch from this week:

and here we go:

I did put my sentiment element at the top instead of the bottom so I didn’t cover up that cute little puppy!  All the designer papers are digital; the card base is Pistachio Pudding and the embossed piece is Blushing Bride.  Sentiment is from Papertrey’s Daily Designs Sentiments

Then, I had the remaining piece sitting on my desk, looking up at me, as well as this little tag, bare and unadorned, so I decided to make another baby girl card for the receptionist at my dentist’s office!!  The Kraft Journal’s challenge this week is “tags”, so it was a perfect fit:

I mounted the Crafty Secrets piece on a scalloped square and embellished it with some lace, pleated ribbon and an embossed heart.  Then I stamped and embellished the tag with a few miscellaneous images and sentiments…..I was really just kind of playing around with some sets I rarely use!  The ribbon is the same pleated ribbon with the stitching removed and pressed.  I stamped the Blush Blossom card base with the retired Distressed Dots background stamp.  (If you need details on any of the stamps or colors I used, just send me an email….there were too many to list!!).  Enjoy your day!
