Perfectly Paired (Noah's Ark) Baby Card for Inspire. Create. Challenges.

Hello there and welcome to another challenge with Inspire. Create and this week it's a "Baby" themed challenge. I seem to be surrounded by new babies here, my granddaughter was born in January, one dear friend had a baby a few weeks ago and another is due any day! I LOVE it!! And it also gives me an excuse to make lots of baby cards, whoop!

Todays make uses the Perfectly Paired, Noah's Ark style stamp. If you are a regular reader here you'll know that I do love a bit of colouring, be it watercolour (like here) or using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) so I knew I just had to get this stamp set as soon as I saw it! It is leaving us at the beginning of June though so if you love it too, make sure you get yours ;-)

Let's see todays make...

I stamped this image onto watercolour paper using memento and I did add clear embossing powder to the stamped outline to seal the ink in and prevent it running with the watercolouring. Honestly, usually it's perfectly ok but I find if you add a bit too much water (as you do sometimes when coloring on watercolour paper) it can run and I didn't want to get halfway through and have any ink bleeding so I heat embossed it to be sure ;-)

I used a combination of aqua painter and a blender pen with my ink pads (or you could use re-inkers) on smooth watercolour paper.

Stitched rectangle and the Be Mine Stitched Dies make up the pretty scalloped and stitched layers on this card.

So, that's my "Baby" make for this challenge, to see what the rest of the DT have made please do head to the challenge blog HERE and we'd love you to join in with this challenge too. 

And as I have so many babies around I will be back on Friday with another baby card for you!

'Till then, happy stamping!
