Today’s challenge was to use a song/music for inspiration. Phoebe has a lullaby CD that I always rock her to just before she sleeps. The minute I turn it on she flips her head onto my shoulder and gets ready for her nap. It has James Taylor and others singing-and the 2nd song is Dream a Little Dream-which is when I put her down.
This card will be for one of my former downline who after quite a while of trying is going to be a mommy to a new baby girl-I am so happy for her! Her shower is coming up so I used today to make a card in advance (shocking for me!). I used my SU! markers in Summer Sun, Pixie PInk, and Lovely Lavender to ink up the Sweet One stamp from So Many Scallops, and stamped it twice on white paper. I used a 1 3/8″ punch to cut out the center circle on one, and then cut out the whole image on the other. I used dimensionals to pop it up and added glitter dots around. The stars are from the All-Star sport set!
Each star is dotted lightly with Dazzling Diamonds glitter-in the pic everything looks dusty/mottled, bu I promise in real life the glitter does not look clumpy and the scallop looks crisp and neat! After I took the pic I had to flick off some more of the blue glitter (especially in the corner!) but it looks very sweet!
