All occasion card with pink, yellow and orange paper, black strips embellished with rhinestones and lots of bling

Another card for my sister.  I love this bright decorative paper with pink, yellow and orange!  Works so well for this card.  I made a half sheet card in deep rose red and cut three pieces of coordinating paper which I pieced for my background.  I covered the joints in the papers with black strips of cardstock and then embellished them with a row of clear rhinestones.  The gift (Artful Stamper) was stamped a while back when I was making these cards.  I fussy cut the image and then watercoloured it to coordinate with my background.

Baby card featuring a polka dot background, some ribbon and a watercoloured horse

The polka dot background on this card is a piece of packaging!!   I am always inspired to save pieces of paper to incorporate into my cards.  It is fun and sometimes not even much of a challenge as in this case.  I trimmed the polka dot piece to size and added a yellow ribbon and then adhered it to a white card.  I found this little horse (Beccy's Place) in my stash and watercoloured it to coordinate with my background. I punched the left hand side with a scallop border punch (SU) and then added an embossed line with my score tool.  I layered it with another piece of aqua cardstock (CB - Swiss Dot) to help cover the printing and tied on a short length of the same ribbon to the one on my card to finish it off.  A great baby card or one for a young child!!
