Sweet Dreams

This week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to be inspired by a song. I took my cue from the sweet images in the Special Bundle stamp set from Clear and Simple Stamps and created a baby card based on the lullaby Rock-a-bye Baby.

I made a sweet scene featuring a basket swinging from a tree branch. The branch's from the Tweet Notes set and the basket's from the new Special Bundle set--love how lots of CSS sets work so well together! After stamping the branch and coloring the leaves with Copic marker, I ran the light blue panel through my die cutting machine with a dotted embossing folder to get the subtle debossed pattern on the panel.

The basket is die cut from pink patterned paper using the Special Bundle dies and stamped with the matching image. I did a little creative arranging of some pink baker's twine to make it look like the basket is hanging from the branch. I layered the panel on a darker blue mat, then set it on a white card base. The "sweet dreams" sentiment from the Sweet Dreams set is stamped in dark pink ink on a pale pink panel and set across the image panel, extending to the right edge of the card.
