I went to a baby shower last night and this was the card I made for thenew mom. I also made a matching paint can but that will be another post.
I put a lot into this card and was so pleased w/ how it turned out!
I stamped the hand w/ craft ink and embossed it w/ Glassy Glaze EP then notched the corners w/ the Ticket Corner Punch and sponged the edges. The brads are from the Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware.
The Houndstooth (retired) BG was stamped on the card base w/ craft ink and I sponged the card edges. I used Paisley (of course) on the Very Vanilla CS and sponged those edges too (I went a little sponge-crazy on this card - going for the shabby chic look).
The sentiment I had to use the stamp-a-ma-jig and stamp twice as it's spaced too far apart to fit in the oval. Once I stamped it I punched it out and adhered it inside the large oval HP Hardware. The ribbon I got from Jacksonbelle - it's brown organdy w/ *pink* polka dots!! SO cool!!
The May Arts ric rac I got from StarLitStudio. It's actually a light pink but I wanted it Rose - so I pressed it into a *CRAFT* Regal Rose pad (wearing gloves) until it was fully saturated then placed it on paper towel and sprayed it w/ water (otherwise it would never fully dry as the ink is so thick) and pressed it in the paper towel. I then heat set it w/ my heat tool and voila!! Regal Rose RicRac!! It worked perfectly and I think it was b/c the ric rac is so tightly woven - I don't think this method would work so well on other types of ribbon (like regular grosgrain).
I adhered the main image to the card w/ dimensionals and that was it!
