It's Monday again and we have a brand new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge for you. This week's theme is: "from up in the clouds...". Let the dreary weather inspire you to make something pretty and join in.
I was inspired by a Dutch saying: "een wolk van een baby" literally translated: a cloud of a baby. Which means a beautiful and healthy baby. A colleague of mine just became a father to his first daughter and to celebrate this joyous occasion, I made a card where all my colleagues and I can write something on.
As the base of the card I cut a piece of Manila cardstock to card size and I the first thing I did was play with Neon Pink, it can't be bright enough! I really love that color, and pink is the most girly color. In these dark winter days I wanted to give this card a lot of color. With Peacock Feathers I added some more.
Around the edges of the card I stamped with a Zip-A-Dee-Doodle stamp in Simon Says Stamp White Ink. The ink mixes with the color that's under it, which gives a cool effect. With the Dot Fade stencil and Perfect Pearl Mist I gave it a bit of shimmer. I coloured the edges of the Talk Bubble cloud with Neon Pink ink.
To join in all you need to do is make a project that fits this weeks challenge and you can be the winner of the $50 gift voucher that our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp offers. This prize will go to a random entry. So go over to the Stamp and Show Monday Challenge blog, let the DT members inspire you and join in the fun!
Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra

Sweet baby card! I love the bright and happy patterns and colors. They are going to love it!
Riots of color, clouds of babies--why not? The pink, manila, and peacock look great together and the washi tape is a perfect accent.
Fantastic card! I love the bright colors and thanks for sharing the Dutch saying "a cloud of a baby" How sweet!
