CAS-ual Paper Smooches More or Less...

Second post for the day :)





Inspired by the gorgeous colours in this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks Cool Shades Challenge, Less Is More Baby Card Challenge, CAS-ual Friday Punchy Challenge. I have a baby and kids market coming up soon, so this is a perfect opportunity to add some more baby cards to the collection.

I love using coloured inks to stamp - the overall impact is much more delicate - which I think suits baby cards :)  Here I have used a teal ink to stamp the Paper Smooches A Little Lovin' sentiment, and Color Box Liquid Chalk Yellow Ochre for Paper Smooches Spring Fling Chick.  The "baby" was negative di-cut using May Favourite Things Die-namics By the Letters, and pop-dotted, along with the chicks body, for added texture. The gorgeous pale blue, teal and ochre check is Fancy Pants Childish Things - perfect for baby cards :)

Hope you are having a wonderful week :)
