Isn't this floral tape gorgeous? It's so easy to just stick a strip onto my cards! I decided to emphasise it with a bit of scoring which you can see better here...
... in this photo! The sentiment is from the retiring Friendly Phrases and I stamped it either side of my washi tape so that I could feature a button as the 'o' in 'congratulations'. It was stamped in two stages, inking up with markers so that I could miss out the relevant letters each time, and I used my stamp-a-majig to line the letters up.Here's the sketch I was working from today:

Yesterday I took my eldest son to the shops to get some wellies for his upcoming geography field trip as he's completely grown out of his old ones. Can somebody please tell me - how did we get from this...
in such a short space of time? I mean okay, the Thomas the Tank Engine ones were not the pair before the size 10 Dunlops we bought yesterday but still, it does seem like only yesterday they were his pride and joy!
See you tomorrow for more crafting fun!

Gorgeous baby card Vicky. Love that washi tape.
ReplyDeleteYeah time does fly!! My eldest niece was married in 1988 and I have the dresses my daughters wore to the wedding. Now my elder daughter has a daughter of her own who will soon be able to wear the smaller dress. Time really does fly.

I really like your different take on a new baby card. So nice to get away from the usual images. The washi tape strip is simple and effective and gives a nice "pop" of colour, and the buttons are a great addition. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with next - particularly on Washi Wednesday! x x
ReplyDeleteSo chuffed about your Smile card Vicky! And did you see that it won on a challenge too?! (though I can't remember which...)
ReplyDeleteLove this baby card too :)
