Crafty Catz DT - New Beginnings

Morning all,

Are we all ready for some New Beginnings? that's the theme set by Carol for this weeks challenge at Crafty Catz. Our sponsors this week are Crafty Ribbons who are offering our lucky winners a £10 Gift Voucher

 
 

Like many of my team-mates I chose to celebrate new life in my card this week. I have a good friend who's due in April so it's nice to get ahead on making the card.

 

I used the slightly smaller card in a box dimensions to make this card so that it will fit in a C6 envelope.

 

The base card is Core Cardstock in Vanilla Cream, the accent card is Core Cardstock in Buttercup, the edges dusted Versa Magic, Sahara. The back blue panel is just paper from the scraps box. The fence is a die cut I was kindly sent, the grass is hand cut from green scrap paper dusted with Distress Ink in Shabby Shutter.

 

I hand cut the little bibs and the washing line. The bunting is another die I was sent, coloured with Versa Magic inks Sea Breeze and Turquoise Gem

 

The green border at the base and the butterflies are both Martha Stewart punches.

 

I think that's about it. I hope you like it and don't forget to come and play along with us this week.

 

Until next time, happy crafting!
