Paper Craft Crew 285 – Simon Says Stamp – Oh, Baby

Welcome back to the Paper Craft Crew Challenge!  This week we have a color challenge.

Now, the mint I used was really more of a frosty blue mint rather than a green one, but it is still GOJUS! Lookie:

STINKIN’ CUTE! I love this set! It’s been a while since I bought a new baby set, but I really could not resist this set.

I made the background by softly blending Distress inks then spattered water to get the speckles.

I colored the stork and his precious bundle with Copic markers and used the matching dies to cut them out.

I die cut the greeting out using the new Welcome Little One dies from the latest Simon release. I added some Wink of Stella for a nice soft shimmer.

I scattered a few sequins over the background to add to the shimmer! I am amazed I got that background blended out so smoothly. It’s something I have had to work at.

Below is my list of products that I used, and I have used compensated affiliate links where they were available, as I now participate in affiliate programs for Simon Says Stamp, Amazon, Ellen Hutson LLC, Scrapbook.com, Gina K, Sizzix, and Blick Art Supplies. Stampin’ Up! links go to my BFF Wendy Weixler’s store, who does not pay me except in eternal friendship, but you can change to your favorite demonstrator if you prefer. Buying through these links costs you nothing extra and helps support my blog and my artistic endeavors, and I thank you.

Enjoy! Ta!
