Hello friends! Today I'm sharing two sweet baby cards I made with the darling new set
Sweet Little Lamb from
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. For both cards, I used the smaller images in the set and a technique
called popping pastels to create the colored panels. If you are
unfamiliar with popping pastels, all you need to do is stamp images with
versamark ink onto white cardstock then rub chalk pastels over the top
using cotton balls (rub the cotton ball onto the chalk then on the
cardstock). The images you stamped will magically pop darker than the
rest of the cardstock. I love this oldie, but goodie technique!
For my first card, I used Julee Tilman's
Mojo Monday 532
sketch. I stamped the lamb on canson xl mixed media paper with
versafine clair nocturne ink, colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens
(ginger, rouge pink, ash black, smoke gray, wisteria purple) and fussy
cut out. I stamped the words using the same ink onto white cardstock,
cut with a circle die and stamped the small hearts with purple ink. I
embossed the white panel with a dot embossing folder. Then, I attached
the purple panel to the white panel, positioned ribbon and attached to
the back then adhered the panel to the purple card base. Next, I
positioned and popped up the sentiment and lamb with foam tape. As the
final step, I tied a small piece of of ribbon towards the top of the
card.
For
my second card, I used the same paper and ink. I colored the image with
Aretza Real Brush Pens (ginger, rouge pink, ash black, smoke gray) and
cut with a circle die. I stamped the words, then adhered the heart
panel, gray and pink pieces to the gray cardstock base. Finally, I
popped up the lamb with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
