Tie-dye baby card!

Well ok, it's not really tie-dye, but it's the best I could come up with!  You might remember me mentioning earlier in the week, that my mum had asked me for a new baby card for a 'grungy, tie-dye' sort of couple... I had no idea what to make, but sat down and played with some inks and sprays and the very cute Memory Box baby clothes die.  This is what I ended up with...


A close up of the little 'tie-dye' vests :o)


Items Used
Naturals ivory cardstock - Stampin' Up
Sentiment stamp - Quotables Celebrate - LOTV
Memory Box Baby Clothes die (out of stock) - MCH
Distress inks & cosmic shimmer sprays
(not sure of colours, didn't write them down)

I'm entering my card for the following challenges
Allsorts Challenge - it's all in the sentiment
Eclectic Ellapu - it's sentimental

The boys went back to school today and it's been soooo quiet!  I've really missed them, but they've both had a great day... apart from a shaky start with Dex because I can't go into the classroom with him in the morning now, he has to be dropped off at the door - he didn't like that!

Off for a little blog catch up... Hope you all have a lovely evening :o)
