Anna Hands: Wildly Happy

Today I got to use the cutest stamp set, Wildly Happy. It has the four sweetest Mum and baby images from the animal Kingdom. With these, I made four Welcome Baby Cards but moved away from traditional pinks and blues. As you can see I have used a similar layout for each of the cards, while varying the colour of the base cardstock and DSP.

The Rabbit Duo

The Bunny Family are based on a Mint Macaron Card. Layer two is a piece of the retired DSP Bird Ballad. before adhering the layer to the base, I have wrapped some gingham ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack around the layer and tied a small bow to the right side of the card. I have then die cut the largest rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Die Set using Mint Macaron. I stamped the image and sentiment on Whisper White using Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad and coloured the image with Watercolor Pencils. I then used the second largest Stitched So Sweetly rectangle to cut the image out. Then all layers were adhered together. A piece of Whisper White was glued to the interior of the card and decorated with a slim piece of the DSP.

The Fox Duo

The Fox duo were created in the same way, using the Bird Ballad DSP and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. This time the sentiments were stamped separately to the main image and cut using the smallest two Stitched So Sweetly rectangles. I used a landscape layout for this card because the fox image is a little wider than the Rabbits. The Base cardstock for this one is Calypso Coral and the ribbon is from the Flowers For Every Season Combo Pack

The Elephant Duo

For this card, I have used a Smoky Slate base card with a Basic Gray Layer and then a layer from the In Good Taste DSP. I used the extra layer to add a little more interest to the background in this card. The Ribbon is from the Flowers For Every Season Combo Pack.

The Panda Duo

This time I have used a Whisper White background with a layer of Forever Greenery DSP. The ribbon is from the Reversible Ribbon Pretty Peacock/Old Olive.

These a Simple Stamping cards to make, but the use of Water Color Pencils gives them a soft, subtle look suitable for baby cards without being too traditional.
