CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW GRANDPARENTS!

Hello to each you wonderful crafters who pop by regularly to see what I have been ‘up to’. If you are popping by for the first time – thank you!

Today’s card has been made for friends of ours who are now grandparents for the first time. Thank goodness for the TREASURES OF LIFE STAMP SET.

This stamp set is in the 2021 January – June Mini Catalogue and I hope that it carries over to the 2021 – 2022 ANNUAL CATALOGUE.

I stamped the grandmother and grandchild image onto FLUID 100 WATER COLOUR PAPER, using Jet Black Stazon Ink. Then I used my WATER PAINTERS to colour this image using Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Petal Pink, Rococo Rose and Soft Suede. Then, I added some Wink of Stella to the Rococo Rose ‘sweater’.

After stamping and colouring, I used my STITCHED RECTANGLES and STITCHED SHAPES DIES to cut prepare the layers for the card front.

Then I used strips of vellum, card stock and ribbon to create the centre segment of the card.

The sentiment was placed under the stamped image and central layer.

I made a double Linen Thread bow for the card front.

Open the card and this is what you will see, in the first card layer!

The envelope front, and the final card layer, feature the baby hand within the grandmother’s hand image.

The final, inside layer features DSP and the hand in hand image – which was stamped onto Vellum using some Jet Black StazOn’ ink.

Do you have a friend who has recently become a first time grandparent? Do you think they would like to receive this card?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping!
