Cardmaking - Perfect Colours for a New Baby card

Our Designer Angela Dodson has used a lovely combination of colours to create this pretty card to celebrate the birth of a new baby girl.  Take a look at our Pick and Mix boxes if you are inspired by this pretty colour palette.

Welcome Little One:

"Flourishes are quite popular at the moment in card making, so I thought it would be nice to use flourishes to create a simple 2 colour design to welcome a baby girl.

Card base has been created by scoring and folding Papermilldirect white hammered card to create a base to accommodate the 7” x 5” panel. The front layered swirl pattern has been cut on the Cricut Explore using a cutting file by Birds Cards, and a sentiment from within the Cricut Design Space subscription.

The layered panel was resized to measure 7” x 5” and the sentiment was easily resized to fit the oval panel on the front. I choose PMD plain white and baby pink cardstocks for the panel and sentiment.

Cosmic Shimmer glue was used to glue the white swirl part to the pink swirl backing and then the whole panel was mounted to the card front using 3D foam pads to give height and depth to the cut outs. I also used cosmic shimmer glue to layer the sentiment and again attached to the card front using 3D foam pads.

Pale pink organza ribbon tied in a bow and some pale pink adhesive gems provide the finishing touches."
