It is always a joyous time to welcome babies into the family.
This card is a 6 x 6" top fold.
I distressed each of the layers (a technique I rarely use)
There is a foam sheet between the cream mat & 1st layer and between the 1st patterned layer & the cluster of smaller layers to give the distressing a little more pop.
Products used for this card include:
- PION Design Sweet Baby - Pink Forget Me Not 12x12 paper
- PION Design Sweet Baby - Baby Girl 12x12 paper
- Kaisercraft Paper Blooms - Dusty Pink
- Ruby Rock-It Arcadia Trimmings - crochet ribbon
- Helmar 450 Quick Dry - liquid adhesive to secure all the layers, flowers and ribbon
- Craft foam sheet

Thank You Giorgia :)
DeleteIt was fun to try my hand at distressing, the paper is so thick that the edges look soft and cosy in person.
Beautifully done!! Love how it looks so vintage! Thank you for joining us at Craftin Desert Divas Linky Party!
ReplyDeleteThank You Steph :)
DeleteVintage is a new to me style and I think it could become quite addictive.
This beauty had better win something-it is absolutely gorgeous. WTG girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteThank You Beth :)
DeleteIt is very different to my usual style, I struggled when really it should have been so quick and easy, maybe next time it will go faster ... yes, there will be a next time, might have to make one for me to keep and a spare for my stash!
Thank You for cheering me on, keeping my fingers crossed on the challenge front :)
Love this card. The post title made me laugh. Distressed Baby. LOL I pinned. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765609811249/

Delete... it must have been late when I posted it and didn't think it through all that well!!! It was a bit distressing to make though, completely outside my comfort zone, but now I've tried it again, I look forward to distressing more.
Tracy this is so beautiful and soft! Perfect for a baby. Thanks for playing along at Crafty Gals Corner's Bingo Challenge. Lisa DT

DeleteIt was definitely outside my comfort zone and challenging to make but I do love it ... your description of "soft" is so right, the distressed layers really are soft, as are the colours.
What an adorable baby card! Your distressing is amazing, Tracy, and so is your use of NBUS! Thank you for playing in my NBUS Challenge #5 ~ so long ago! I'm sorry that my nursing duties have made me so late to come by and thank you. Enjoy your day! Hugs, Darnell
