Baby Boy Card With Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch and Twinkling H2O Paints

This colorful baby card was created with an old Close to My Heart wooden stamp called "For Baby" which was embossed with Outdoor Denim embossing powder and then painted with African Jade, Yellow Rose and Heavenly White Twinkling H2O paints. 

Here is a close up so you can see how shimmery the Twinkling H2O paints are:

   

The blue footprint vellum paper is from Recollections and the solid blue panel is retired Close to My Heart Heavenly Blue.  Retired CTMH Outdoor Denim cardstock is the background panel for the focal image.

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch:

Baby Card from Artiste Birthday Girl Key for Rose Blossom Garden Challenge #4

I've been pondering entering this challenge for the past week but just couldn't come up with a good idea.  Today I was asked to make a baby card and I got inspired to play along with the Rose Blossom Garden Challenge #4.  The challenge requires that we use a cricut cut from the Artiste cartridge from pg.69--the Birthday Girl key.   I used the Card and Shift key and cut at 8.25" from Heavenly Blue CS (retired CTMH) which actually makes an envelope.  I modified the shape I cut by trimming the sides and cutting off the bottom part to create a nice frame.  The patterned paper is retired Heavenly Blue and there is a Buttercup CS mat also.  The stamp is a very old wooden stamp by Close To My Heart called "For Baby".  There is a 1.5" strip of CTMH Black and Grey Glitter paper on the top part of the card.  I used Buttercup and Heavenly Blue markers to color the image and glitzed it up with Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel on the 2 stars and Silver Glitz Glitter Gel on the dots going around the image.  3D Foam Tape elevates the frame over the Silver Glitter strip and patterned paper.
