When I was having a play with this set and making lots of girl baby cards, I decided to make a boy one too (after all, boys are cute too!).
I went with a colour scheme of Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Night of Navy. I really like the contrast of navy with soft greens and blues... thus the title of my post. I now have a song stuck in my head (lucky I really like it!!). Anyone want to guess which song it is?I used Certainly Celery "Prints" Designer Series paper for the stripey pattern...I love, love, love these papers. It's the one type of patterned paper that I seem to use every scrap of! The patterns aren't so overwhelming that they dominate the card or layout.
I stamped the main image in Black Stazon, and watercoloured using Inkpads and Blender pens. I added a touch of blue chunky glitter to the little heart. The ribbon is the gorgeous wide double-stitched ribbon in the Summer Mini.
Materials (all Stampin' Up!)
stamps: Big on Spring, Short and Sweet
ink: Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Black Stazon
cardstock: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Whisper White
other: Large Oval punch, Small Oval punch, Bashful Blue Wide Double-Stitched ribbon, Chunky Glitter, Tombow glue (to adhere glitter)
Marelle, I love this card. I am struggling with making boy and masculine cards at the moment and although I don't have this stamp set yet, I am loving the colour combination. Off to try it out now.
