A few years back (yes years) I purchased large Chipboard letters to decorate for my girls but never did anything with them. Then about 12 months or so ago I thought about them again and actually purchased designer papers for them. Well they got stored away too until about 2 weeks ago. I’ve made a start on 2 of the 4 anyway and today I’m going to share what I’ve done with my youngest daughter, Brooke’s, letter.

I’ve used the Capture the Moment image from The Paper Shelter and coloured her to coordinate with the gorgeous paper. I’ve added a few flowers to embellish.

I’ve printed my image onto Cryogen White cardstock and coloured with Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are: Skin - E11, E00, E000, R20; Hair - E57, E55, E53, E51; Clothes - YG95, YG93, YG91, B24, B23, B21, YR23, YR21, YR20; Camera - C6, C4, C2, C00.

My Baby Girl...

It’s time for a new challenge over at ABC Challenges.

Our challenge for you today is

 ‘K is for Kritters’

 so we want to see creations with an insect or animal on them.

Our sponsors for this challenge are Sherri Baldy – ‘My Besties’.

I have used one of the 3D decoupage sheets from Sherri Baldy to create a picture frame featuring my baby girl ‘Jessie’.

I’ve printed the decoupage sheet onto cardstock and cut using my Silhouette Cameo and the Pixscan Mat and then layered the pieces using dimensionals. My frame has been made using 2 different designs that I purchase from the Silhouette Store and have welded together. This created my fancy top. My word was created and cut also on my Cameo along with the bone which was a purchased design. I have glittered up both the word and the outside edge of the bone with some Dazzling Details.

Here’s a closer look at the cute image from Sherri Baldy.

Supplies:
Card: Blushing Bride & Whisper White(Stampin’ Up)
Paper: #HR-CU261 Rolling Floral  (Hazel & Ruby), Baja Breeze Patterns (retired Stampin’ Up)
Accessories: Dazzling Details, Silhouette Cameo
