Welcome to Cats Whiskers: Baby Card

Morning All, where has the sun gone, really dull and dingy here this morning. At the weekend I bought myself a Nutribullet to make smoothies as I wasn't eating enough fresh fruit & veg, I have been having one smoothie a day since Sunday and I must admit I feel a lot brighter, the thought of adding spinach & carrots to fruit didn't seem very appertising but you don't taste them at all.

Today we have another of my Baby Stamps from Lili of The Valley - Balloon Basket.

I must try to find another combination of Pink Copics, I use these 4 colours every time I colour with Pink.

It's a Boy

Morning, this will be a quick post, yesterday I decided to catalogue my Lili of the Valley stamps, being as I almost have every stamp every released from the first original Jasmine & Oliver Stamps to the newest release its taking rather a long time, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end.

I came across this image, "Cosy Pram", which I don't think has ever seen Ink, so had a break from sorting out to make a quick card. What with the fabulous Lemoncraft Paper Pad "Tiny Miracles", and the sweet image I didn't think this needed to much embellishment, just a bit of Lace, Ribbon and a few pearls, with a couple of diecuts, well for me thats not much embellishment.

I have coloured the image with Copics, and added some Polychromos Pencils on the Pram, Teddy and Blanket. I used the Joy Craft Cutting & Embossing Butterfly Border Die which has been cut twice once in white card and once in paper from the Lemoncraft Pad, I then cut it down into individual butterflies and arranged them around the image, I have also cut 2 Doo Hickey Labels and tucked them behind the image.
