Pink Baby Bunny

This sweet pink creation was for a good friend of mine that just had her fourth child (and 3rd girl!).  The bunny is an old image from Stampin'Up! but I still use it a lot on baby cards - it works perfectly and it is a great image to color in.  I used my Prismacolors again and enjoyed choosing the colors based on the chart I've created in my reference binder.  It  helps to hold the patterned paper I'm using as a background against the chart to choose just the right shade.  Now I need some new blending stumps - I've been using the same ones for over two years and they are looking very worn and some of them are in really bad shape.  I remember though, that Paula Williamson, from Paper Possibilities, told me to only buy blending stumps make in Taiwan and not China.  I learned that lesson the hard way when I was first experimenting with colored pencils!

Has anyone else been coloring images using Prismacolors recently?  If so, send me a link to your blog - I'd love to see your work!

Prima Baby Bunny

Today's card is for my cousin in England who just had a sweet little baby girl. This is definitely a week for working on my coloring techniques. Here I used my Prismacolor pencils again to add color to this sweet little bunny image from Stampin'Up! Let's take a close up of my coloring :



The papers I used are from the Jack and Jill collection from Prima Marketing and I added some fake lace using a border punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Baby Stars

My supply of baby cards is getting low again and so I created this cute one using Fancy Pants Patterned paper in non-traditional baby colors (ie. not pink or baby blue). The coral and faded blue are very sweet together and I like the addition of the white ribbon to pull it all together.

The stars were cut using my Quickutz Squeeze. I don't use this tool too often and have recently gone through a phase of trying to use all the tools and supplies in my cupboard no matter how old they are! I added some faux stitches using a white gel pen to add some more interest and make the stars stand out against the background.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Bo Bunny Love Bug

I have had this Stampin'Up Love Bug set for quite some time but was nervous about coloring such a small image. In the end I went with lighter colors and used a few darker colors very sparingly. My Prismacolor pencils were my coloring method of choice (because I only have 9 Copics at the moment...... : ( !!!) and I blended them with baby oil because I still have yet to figure out how to open the Gamsol container!!!

The patterned paper I used is from the Bo Bunny set 'Sugared' (not quite sure if that is the right name, but it was the collection that came out near Valentine's Day) and this inspired the cardstock colors.

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!

Elzybells Baby Moon

Oh my - two posts in one day... I must be obsessed with stamping (go figure....)

I just saw a challenge over on the CCEE Stampers Blog to create a baby card. I knew I had created one but had not uploaded it on my blog - so here it is!

We have had plenty of babies born at our church recently and I made two of these cards for baby boys born within the last month. I started out with this adorable stamp from Elzybells and paired it with paper from My Little Yellow Bicycle and Night of Navy cardstock.

I think that's it for today, but I can't promise!

Welcome Little One (Mojo #137)

The selection of cards in my 'to send' basket has been lacking in baby cards for a while now (partly because people keep having babies, so as I make cards I have to send them!!). I needed another baby girl card to send out this week so I made two of these. Now I have at least one in my stash!

This card is also my submission for the Verve Mojo Monday Sketch #137. Here is the sketch for you to see :



The cute little bunny is from an SU! set from about 5 years ago called : "A New Little Someone". I used SU! chocolate chip for the base of the card and layered PTI white along with patterned paper from My Little Yellow Bicycle Sharon Ann collection. The bunny is colored using PrismaColor pencils.

Hope you are having a great day!
