Green and pink extravaganza!

I was recently asked to make a baby girl card and also a big sister card. I had just come back from a trip to the Papermill Shop and this green and pink were calling to me from the box. I liked the idea of the baby flower coming from the joined two hearts - a bit sentimental and yeucky I know but new baby time is a good time for sentimental! The feet were embossed with a cuttlebug folder on a circle cut with my nestabilities. The flower, baby and hearts are all sizzix dies.

The big sister card uses the same colours and (of course) the marvelous swirls die. Everything was cur with sizzix except the flowers which are an x-cut punch. I am not sure how old the big sister is but I thought all little girls like bling so added some gems to make the dots on the 'i's.

This is my final (for now) pink and green card. The flower is stampendous. Stamped onto pink and green card and paper pieced. I went over the lines on the flower with a pink / glitter gelly roll pen (although it doesn't really show here). The stamens are raised using a black gelly roll. I drew the stems in using a green felt tip and a black fineliner and added knotted ribbon with a brad to tie it down. I did think about having the knot the other side and a sentiment on the right, but decided that it didn't need one. I gave this to my sister in law for her birthday. this card is a 5x7 and the others are A6. I just realised that they all look the same size on the blog.
