Welcome to the latest Cardz 4 Galz challenge two-week challenge. Our host for this challenge #181, Dawn, picked baby girl as the theme. As always, when you finish here, I hope you will hop over to the the challenge site to see what the other design team members have created. It’s always inspirational, and I hope you get inspired to play along with us. I’m looking forward to seeing all kinds of baby girl cards because they are so stinking cute!

I used the Happy Forest Suite for my card:

I got this layout from Try Stamping on Tuesday, even though the challenge ended before I could add this card to that gallery. Here’s the banner for that layout:

What I Did:

The So Saffron base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
Both the DSP patterns come from the Happy Friends 12 x 12 inch DSP. The Calypso Coral DSP (designer series paper) measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches. I outlined it using a Crumb Cake marker. I also trimmed a piece of this DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
The tree DSP measures 3-3/8 by 4-1/2 inches. I outlined this piece using a Calypso Coral marker. Then, I punched a 1 inch circle from this DSP for the envelope seal.
Next came the stamping. After stamping the bear in Crumb Cake, I used an almost dry blending brush to blend color starting at the bottom of the bear. The base of the tree trunk is also stamped in Crumb Cake.
I stamped the fox in Calypso Coral.
Then, I stamped the owl in Smoky Slate.
I used a Calypso Coral marker to add the owl’s beak and the bear’s inner ears.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral.
All the stamped elements were cropped using dies from the Happy Friends die set. So cute!
After adding dimensionals underneath the cropped pieces, I adhered them to the DSP.
Finally, I added a piece of Old Olive ribbon and baker’s twine to the sentiment.
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Have a Peachy Day!
