A Sweet Miracle Is On The Way

Hi bloggers!  I think it's time for a sweet baby card!  I started with a piece of white card and used the Double Stitched Clouds and Hill die to cut a cloud stencil to use.  I used Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass distress ink to make the soft clouds in the background.  Next I cut the ark out of tan card and added a dark brown roof.  I used the "roof" die in the Noah's Ark die set upside down to create three rows of water under the ark.  I used the animals from the Farm Animals and the Zoo Animal die sets to add the animals on to the ark and the giraffe was from an older set called Stuffed Animals.   I added shading to the animals to bring out the detail.   I added darker portholes and attached the animals so they were coming out of them.  I did take a bit of artistic license and only did one of each animal instead of two (as the story goes, two by two).  I used the Sweet Miracle sentiment die cut in sky blue and added a tan shadow to it, then glued it to the top above the ark.  The card was completed with white and sky blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Oh so cute, smiling like a Cheshire cat here lol. I have my next lot of dies lined up for my next batch of cards (once I've completed my order) and it's the Arc and animals all given as gifts, I keep moving them aside while I cut the dies for the requested cards but I'm itching to work with these cute and beautiful dies, I have so many idea's and combinations I've had to jot them down lol so thank you for these collections and for starting my day with a smile again.

The crazy easing of lockdown will soon start but it's still terrifying out there and extremely dangerous so please everyone here and Sue - STAY SAFE YOU ARE PRECIOUS KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING 💖 xxx

Such a sweet baby card with all the personalized animals. Your giraffe poking out of the roof makes me chuckle. My favorite of these animals is the kanaroo and her joey. Your attention to the most minuit details is amazing. Hugs

Hi Sue,
I'm also late, had an awful day. Despite getting up which for me is the crack of dawn - ie 0800 hrs. Had appntmt for blood test, and blood pressure.
It was all a bit different in the surgery, and took a lot more time but I will not complain.

And then shopping which also takes more time, collecting medicine and then losing the bloody parcel, found it again thank God.

And then tel.call from the doctor, readjusting my medicine.

And then it's bloody hot here - just right for you, Sue, but horrendous for me. Brain just switches off.

However, it is switched on enough to appreciate the sweet card!!

Hugs
Rose
