Boy meets Girl - 28/1/2013

Another Boy meets Girl Challenge - same stamp, or set, to make a boy card and a girl card.  Today's theme is - baby card.  Just by changing up the colour highlights you can change the recipient.


First up - for a baby girl.

I made the colour palette a bit softer and used pink as the highlight colour. For a more modern baby you could go with hot pink, lavender or purple.

Next - the boy.

I must apologise for this looking so yellow! It is actually white (the photos were taken at the same time and on the same setting!!!) However it would look good in lemon too. The highlight colour is pastel blue.  For a more modern baby you could go with garden green or navy. The giraffe is coloured with a slightly darker palette.

If you wanted a gender neutral card I'd go with red, orange, yellow or mint.

Supplies:
Paper - whisper white, pink pirouette and bashful blue c/s
Stamp - "giraffe" from stash, "teeny tiny sentiments" (the most useful set you will ever purchase!!!)
Ink - pixie pink (ret) (current substitute - melon mambo), bordering blue(ret) (current substitute - bashful blue), various markers
Tools - Big Shot, "dots" embossing folder, word window punch, tiny flower from itty bitty punches, embossing stylus (to curl the petals)
Other - basic pearls
Adhesive - snail, dimensionals, glue dot

 It's raining steadily here - like all of the east coast.  We luckily have not had the worst of it.  Some people are experiencing tornadoes and torrential rain/flooding - like a month's worth or more in 24 hours.

For the first time in almost a week we are all going to be home for dinner so I am going to cook us a special meal.  Don't know what yet - but it will involve chicken!

Happy crafting!
Cheers
