I've only recently started playing with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and just in case you haven't noticed :-) it has been a feature of just about every card of the last few weeks!!! So my challenge REALLY was: which of the several flavours of cards currently needed ie thank you, Christmas etc would I make?? When a good friend suggested doing a Baby card I initially wasn't sure but the idea stayed with me and when I sat down needing a baby card TODAY...this is what resulted.
I started with the Lines stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge set in the corner in Smoky Slate ink and then added the "splatters" with both Pool Party ad Pacific Point inks. the Jumpsuit is from the Baby Tees Jumbo wheel and is inked in Pacific Point and then the outline and star coloured with a marker and is then cut out and added with a Silver brad and dimensionals. The "Boy" is from the now retired Timeless Type Sizzlits dies.
And the arrow is from the Hello Lovely stamp set and is also raised on dimensionals - as is one of the three stars - inked with images from Gorgeous Grunge and cut out with a retired small Star punch.
And now I am off to deliver it to happy Grandparents...I hope they like it.
