Baby Boy for Paper Craft Crew

Well its another warm Wednesday in Melbourne - I'm sure it can't last much longer but will enjoy the warmth while we can :-) And so it is time for a new sketch at the Paper Craft Crew.


There are lots of elements to the sketch this week and I think I used most of them :-)


Originally I had the idea of the T-shirts hanging on a washing line in front of a fence….so I modified that a little here. The fence was in fact quite labour intensive(pun intended LOL!) - the Hardwood stamp was stamped twice onto two sheets of card as on the stamp, the fence would've been on its's side. I then cut the planks out individually and sponged the edges before adding to a piece of Smoky Slate card leaving a little Slate showing between each plank.



The pretty little T-shirt wheel was inked up in Island Indigo ink and then I coloured in using a Blender pen and some Pool Party ink - and a Real Red marker for the little heart. After cutting out is layered onto the Oval after adding some Gorgeous Grunge.

I cut a banner using the beautiful Sweet Sorbet DSP from Saleabration and layered onto some more Pool Party card stock. And used the greeting from A Dozen Thoughts for the "announcement." And  a few little blue sequins to add to the celebratory theme.

Card stock: Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Sweet Sorbet *
Inks: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Smoky Slate
Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, A Dozen thoughts, Banner Blast*, Baby T'ees Jumbo Wheel
Accessories: Big Shot, Oval Framelits, Hexagon Punch ( for flag ends), Sweet Sorbet Accessories Pack ( Pool Party Twine),Banner Punch Non -SU sequins

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you can take the time to see what the Design Team have created to inspire you this week at the Paper Craft Crew and I look forward to seeing what you will create!

Happy stamping,

Jan
