Post 129: Sweet Baby Card

Hi friends !


Today I'd like to share a baby card with you :) This card is side folding and 5 by 7 inches in size. The flowers in the pattern paper are quite glittery and pretty, their shine shows up in the close up pictures. 

Synopsis of the Process:

The edges of the mat and panel were distressed with a distress tool to give a deckled look. Heat embossing was done on the Dusty Attic foliage chipboard to create a shiny yellowish-green textured bumpy look, to achieve this, besides the watermark ink some glue was also applied to it and the 2 embossing powders (lemon yellow and metalline green) were mixed and used on the chipboard to make it stand out against the busy background. The sentiment "sweet baby" is cut from one of the papers in the same nana's nursery paper stack and matted with a greenish paper from the autumn melody stack.

1. DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl Stack
