Sunday CAS Challenge With Outlawz Apr 1st - Welcome, Little One

The challenge at Outlawz this week is to create a CAS card that is "youthful".

So happens my friend since high school will be having their first child in May. I thought it would be fitting to do him a card and send it together with a gift box for the baby.

Here is my card:

I saw a faux embossing technique and thought to give it a try. I added a little stickles at the star on the onesie.

Supplies Used:

Papers - SU Crumb Cake, PTI Spring Rain

Inks - Ranger Distress Ink Vintage Photo, HA Cup of Joe, Soft Pool
Stamps - PTI Hanging Out
Others - PTI Super Stars Die, Hanging Out Die, Ranger Stickles Crystal, Pop Dots

Card 15 - Congrats!

I just received my new goodies from PTI and I was really excited to try them out. It's just 3 sets from their July release for now as I will be buying again in a couple of days' time in conjunction with the Stamp-a-faire event on Saturday. I didn't wanna wait till later as this particular stamp set, Hanging Out, which is an absolutely lovely baby stamp set, is what I want to use to make a card for my brother-in-law (hubby's brother) who just had a baby boy about 3 weeks ago. I had bought some baby clothes as gifts for my nephew and it will be more complete with a card. Will be sending the package out tomorrow.

1) Prepare square card base using Rustic Cream card stock
