Baby Girl Card


The card above I made as a sample card using my new baby digital 'Baby Gift Box'ID: NV-DS0028 and the sentiment is from my new word art sheet 'Baby Set 1' ID:NV_WA0019 . I couldn't go past the wonderful sketch supplied over at the Midnight Madness crew. I think that my stitching was a lot better on this card and I did some test runs trying to get the tension right to sew on paper.

I coloured my digital first, spending the most amount of time on the hatbox itself and used 6 different copic colours to achieve that gradual shading. I used a white pen to add the little white dots onto the hatbox to create a pattern. The items inside the hatbox are very small, so I only used 2 colours on most of them. After it was dry it was then cut out, the edges shaded and pop dotted onto the card to add dimension. I brushed all the edges of the card with pink petunia chalk to soften the hard edges. The rest of the card was just a matter of putting it together.

The inside is very simple. I used the same paper as the front and stitched around it. The verse is from my word art sheet and the edges where also brushed with chalk.

Card Info:

  • Normal pinkish card stock to make the base
  • Background paper by Paper Chic Item#1625, so pretty with candy stripes one side and tiny white four petaled flowers on the other side.
  • Copics: E01, E95, R20, R81, R83, R85 (hat box colours)
  • Pink ribbon with 2 silver threads by Celebrate
  • Pink Bling by Paper Xtra
  • Little teddy bear charm from Ribtex
  • Flowers are a no name brand, I do remember picking up the white ones in the bridle section and I coloured the center of them with a red copic marker.
  • VersaMagic is the chalk ink

    3. Wow Vickie this card is gorgeous!!! Your attention to even the smallest detail has made this a true work of art. From the meticulous coloring of the contents in the hat box to the wonderful little teddy bear charm hanging from the ribbon, this card is the perfect welcome to a new baby girl. It's wonderful to see those beautiful little flowers that you got amongt the pretty little pink rhinestones. And the sentiment finishes it off perfectly. This is a card that any new mother would be estatic to get.
