I have another card I made with the new Vintage Picnic set from Papertrey. I am not the best at coloring but I love this set and the details are so cute, I think I will enjoy coloring them! I actually paired the dotted basket (the cutest I think) with the dotted candles from Cupcake Collection, I just masked the top of the basket and stamped the candle repeatedly. I used Prismacolor pencils to color my little festive birthday basket and blended the colors with a little gamsol, also I stamped the image on Kraft just to see how the coloring would look and I think I like it:)!
The strip of patterned paper is from the new collection 2008 Bitty Box Basics, which I turned diagonally and cut to achieve the diagonal boxes. If you get the paper you will see what I mean... The Aqua Mist layer is dry embossed with my cuttlebug embossing folder that came as a set with a die full of baby sentiments. I love those larger polka dots!
Supplies:
Stamps - Vintage Picnic
Ink - Black (Memories), True Black
Cardstock - Smokey Shadow, Kraft, Aqua Mist, Raspberry Fizz, Bitty Box Basics
Other - Aqua Mist Grosgrain, Labels 1 Dies (Spellbinders), True Black Vintage Button, Welcome Baby Embossing Folder (Provo Craft)
I also wanted to direct you (if you haven't already been there) to see this wonderful card on my fellow designer, Debbie's blog. Her talent for coloring and putting together a card is phenomenal, she amazes me!
So I hope you are all having a super wonderful day! Mikey was sick earlier this week but seems to be feeling better although his appetite isn't quite back yet. We are also getting some summery weather which causes my Jacob to constantly ask if we can go swimming:)! Be back soon with more stuff:)!
Such a cute idea! I love the candles in the basket...just got those two sets yesterday!

Pretty card! I love how you creatively stamped the candles in the basket. I'm anxiously waiting for my vintage picnic set to arrive!
Take care.
