Who says all baby stuff has to be pastel pink, blue, or yellow? I think it should depend on the personalities and tastes of the parents. So today I’m sharing a card for some not-so-pastel parents-to-be.
The new Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper is so versatile! One side of each sheet is black and white, and the other has Melon Mambo. For today’s card, I used this pattern of black with white and Melon Mambo hearts, and colored in the little white hearts with a Tempting Turquoise Stampin’ Write Marker.
The card base is Whisper White Thick card stock. I glued the colored DSP to that.
I stamped the badge and banner from the Badges & Banners stamp set, and the bunny and kitty from the Made With Love stamp set, in Basic Black onto Whisper White card stock. I colored in the words on the banner with Tempting Turquoise and Melon mambo markers.
A note on black ink pads: I usually use Archival Basic Black ink with rubber stamps, and Memento Tuxedo Black ink with photopolymer stamps. You can absolutely use both inks with both types of stamps. The Archival ink really stains the photopolymer stamps, which doesn’t hurt them at all, but I prefer to use the Memento so they don’t stain as much. This is just my personal preference.
I colored in the animal’s ears with a Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Write Marker.
I cut the badge with the Best Badge Punch and the banner with the Duet Banner Punch. I used my trusty Paper Snips to cut out the two little critters.
Everything is glued with Multipurpose Liquid Glue except the banner, which is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
And did I mention that the Badges & Banners stamp set and the Best Badge Punch are available as a bundle to save 10%? Click on the images below to get yours now!
