I used the dotted lamb image from the Polka Dot Pals set from There She Goes and the color combination from this week’s TSG challenge, pink, cream and kraft. They may be somewhat non-traditional baby card colors, but I like the soft look and feel. I think having the pink be the dominant color helped here.
The lamb outline was stamped in brown ink on a pink scrap. I used a cream pigment ink to stamp the matching dotted image that fills in the outline. The ink was sprinkled with cream embossing powder and heat embossed (with the assistance of Chloe the cutie puppy, who is fascinated with the heat tool for some reason that I can’t figure out), then cut out. I used foam tape to attach it to a cream circle, then layered it on a label die cut.
I embossed a pink panel with a polka dot pattern, matching the pattern on the lamb. It’s layered on a kraft card base. I paper pierced a kraft strip and attached that to the cardfront and added a strip of pink grosgrain ribbon down the strip’s center, extending beyond its end to almost the bottom of the card. The image panel is layered over the strip. The set’s “dream” sentiment was stamped on a scrap of pink cardstock. It extends from the edge of the image panel and is anchored with a cream button that’s tied with a little pink baker’s twine.
