Two baby cards

 Hi there!

I finished these two baby cards earlier this week, and here I am to share it with you! I own exactly one baby stamp set, so I decided to get the help from my Silhouette cameo to design my cards. I added color with a stencil and some Altenew inks .

I used :

• Top panels designed in the Silhouette studio by welding the offset of the word to a central circle
• Font used to cut the words : 'Anything Better' 
• Two bows (from my Silhouette library)
• Stencil from Celebr8 (a South-African Company) - Sweetheart
• Pearl and enamel dot embellishments
• Altenew adhesive tape for dimension 
• Altenew inks

Waving hello - 2 ways

 Hi there!

I'm back with a card built around one of the sentiments from the "So Swell" stamp set from Simon Says stamp. Once again , my Silhouette cameo came in handy to add relevant elements to the design!

I made the first card, and with all the negative cuts that were left behind, I challenged myself to make a stenciled/masked version of the same design. 

Take a look !

First card :

For the card above I cut the mermaid tail, wave and sun with my Silhouette cameo. I stamped the sentiment in two shades of turquoise to follow the shape of the wave. I used the negative part of the cut out wave to achieve the effect on the sentiment.

• Mermaid tail cut from iridescent paper
• Yellow and Turquoise card stock
• Altenew inks : Lagoon & Emerald
• Adhesive foam tape for dimension
• Rhinestones

Second card :

For the card above, I started by masking the wave with the lighter color and added the pattern with a stencil. I then stenciled the mermaid tail and added texture with a BG stamp in a darker shade of pink. I then masked the tail and stenciled the sun. Lastly the sentiment was stamped and cut out, and adhered to the card with adhesive foam tape.

• Hero arts Spiral Petal stencil on the waves
• Altenew Rustic Linen BG stamp on the mermaid tail
• Altenew inks : Volcano Lake & Lagoon ; Pinkalicious & Razzleberry ; Warm Sunshine & Orange cream
• Rhinestones and enamel dots
