Hugs And Kisses

 Hi there everyone!  A pretty baby card for today.  I really like this one myself.  I wasn't sure where I was heading with it when I started, but I like where the journey left me.  I used Tumbled Glass on the Tied Together embossing folder and letterpressed it onto some coconut white cardby running it through the Calibur.   I cut the piece into a square, then diagonally across the centre.  I used another piece of coconut white card and embossed it with the large polka dot mask.  I cut it in half diagonally as well.  I pieced them together to form my background for the card.  It needed something more so I cut four of the Scalloped Borders using a pretty filigree insert with it.  I attached one to each side of my background so that it was just peeking out from behind and formed a nice pattern all the way around.  I stamped the sentiment from the Bundle Of Joy stamp set from Justrite in black and cut it out with the Vintage Labels 5 die.  I inked through the die with Tumbled Glass distress ink and mounted it in the centre of my card with foam piece.  I used the Vintage Floret die to make several small buds and two slightly larger roses (see tutorial at the top of my blog for the method used)  I seated the buds on a white messy bow and some pastel Bakers Twine.   The two larger flowers were seated in the opposite side of the sentiment.   I dabbed the tip of the flowers with some Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue then added Iced Snow for a bit of a twinkle on the flowers.   I finished the card with a double white pierced mat layer.  How pretty would this be for a new baby boy!  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x
7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
