Peek-A-Boo!

Here's another card we'll be making at my June 13 Friday Night Cards class.  It's a little bit of a peek-a-boo card.  Take a look.  
I  used a special technique for the ribbons, from my Ribbon Techniques Album.  I tied the Blackberry Bliss ribbon around the card and then, before finishing the knot, I added a loop of Hello Honey ribbon.  This really adds a lot to the look of the card.
The giraffe is from our Zoo Babies stamp set.  The 'Hello' ticket is from Label Something.
I love how cute the giraffe looks peeking out of the window.  I cut the window with one of our oval framelits and then embossed the Hello Honey layer.  I love how it compliments the Blackberry Bliss.  I added a strip of DSP on the bottom of the inside of the card and then used a piece on the envelope flap, as well.
Tip:
Cut the oval window first and then emboss the top layer.  If you emboss first, the embossing gets flattened back down when you run it through to cut the window.

Artistic Inspiration from a Photo

Subject matter doesn't get much better than a photo of my sweet Olive Jane.  Her sassy little outfit inspired this project I created.  I changed up the shades of the colors a bit, but the photo was truly my starting point.

My color story:
  • Night of Navy
  • Blushing Bride
  • Marina Mist
... and, of course, a coordinating envelope with Blushing Bride liner from the Subtles DSP Stack

Here's her photo:

... and here's my project for today:


And yes, I had to put this stamp set together before I could make the card.  I love the Zoo Babies stamp set and just hadn't had an opportunity to use it yet.  I haven't made a baby card for a long time either, so this was fun.
