This ended up being a really cute baby card. I am hoping my friend is having a girl so I made it kinda girly-squirrel-ly. :) I was also able to get a really great sketch from Jitterbuggin' and for me it all comes together when I have a great sketch to start with!
The color palette came from the ColourQ blogsite. I made this squirrel to hold a baby bottle instead of a nut and added a flower and a bow to her hair(?). I used some silly border stamps from Recollections (the squiggle stitch border and the clouds border that I made into a background). I used a Tim Holtz Alterations folder (swirls). I also did a little inking around the edges and added some bling-bling on the flowers.
Cartridges used: Give a Hoot (for squirrel and flowers) and Doodlecharms (for bottle). Teardrop for sentiment.
Challenges:
Jitterbuggin' - baby card, sketch, ribbon
ColourQ - Regal Rose, Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Early Espresso, and White
Papercutz- Squirrel, hedgehog, skunk or monkey
Thanks for looking!
Too cute!! My sister is preggo and I was hoping for a girl (I have 2 boys) but the baby is a boy! Anyway... I love your card, it would make a lovely card for a baby announcement too!

What a cute layout to show off your fun squirrel baby.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable squirrel! I do not have that cartridge (although it seems everyone else does), so I may need to reconsider. I love the font you used for your sentiment...what is it?
