Splish Splash

I love this part of babysitting Jack, he loves bathtime, splishing and splashing and both Chris and I normally end up soaked.

Here he is with that tongue sticking out again.

Wash, play then snuggles.

Once he stopped trying to lick up all of the water he really enjoyed playing with his new bath toys.

There's Nothing Better Than A True Friend

A simple yet striking card made with In Bloom stamp set by Papertrey Ink and coloured with Promarkers.

I used a corner rounder and and EK Success slimline border punch on the cream card.

Attention to detail...

As you can see I stamped the 3 blooms and coloured all of them with Promarkers Pastel Green and Soft Green then layered them up using sticky pads.

It adds dimension to the card and makes it pop.

Look No Hands

Jack is growing so fast, he's not happy sitting on knees now he needs to stand so to keep him happy a new toy had to be purchased and here he is.

On first glance you may think that Jack has had spaghetti for dinner but as he is teething he is contantly dribbling and sticking out his tongue so he has his mouth and cheeks chapped from the cold weather.

Pine at Night

Recipe:

Stamps- Stampin Up Lovely as a Tree, Wheel stamp Forever Flowers

Card - Navy 14.5 x 14.5cm finished base card, white 14 x 14cm

Ribbon - Navy Satin

Ink - Stampin Up Night of Navy

I inked the pine tree once and stamped it 3 times, this gives a distance appearance as if 2 of the trees are behind the brightest tree and makes it pop.

The moon was a circle punches from paper then laid over the white card and sponged over the top, then remove the white card circle to reveal a moon, I used the sponge technique around the top edge of the card too.

I inked the stamp wheel and run it across the base of the white card then with a damp paint brush shaded the flowers and leaves by catching the ink that had been stamped with the brush.

The ribbon tied into a bow around the card was the finishing touch.
