It's so good to get back to making CAS cards after a couple of scrapbook pages , and so to this weeks OLW at Susan Raihala's blog.......
.......this week we are asked to make a 'New Baby' card and use this selection of baby cake pictures for inspiration .
I find these types of challenge difficult because there's so much to look at on the pictures and I have to really focus on one or two elements or my head spins !
Here's my card
I used these two photos for inspiration
The font is printed on the computer in a very light grey and then I went over it in black pen to join up the letters and extend the line to make a washing line effect . This was the most time consuming part of the card and caused quite a lot of frustration .... but hey we got there in the end :)
The onesie is a Personnel Impressions stamp which I positioned with my homemade stamp positioner and then coloured with Coloursoft pencils .
Just love that white space , I've even made a one layer card for CAS-ual Fridays this week too , I'll post that tomorrow .
See you then and thanks for stopping by today .
What a genius idea with overwriting the printed text! I love the washing line and the cute little suit - such a CAS card its perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute Jenny! Great idea to go over the text and make a washing line - looks fab :o) Lisa x

ReplyDeleteFabulous Jenny - you are so full of great ideas! The text is very effective. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. I love the effect of the font. I was wondering what font you started with.Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Marg, thanks for your lovely comments and visiting my blog. The font is called 'All Hail Julia' and is available at Dafont. Most of the lowercase letters are joined but some needed tweaking and joining :)
ReplyDeleteHope this helps.

ReplyDeleteOh, Jenny, this is total CAS sweetness:)!! Love the sentiment that you made into the clothesline...creative genius...and dotting the i with a gem...wonderful!! Great coloring with you onesie...adorable baby card:)!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute, Jenny. I love how you extended the sentiment out to the edges and hung the onesie from it. I loved that cake, but sadly I didn't have any images that I thought would work.
