Good Morning Sistahs,
I was lucky enough to head out to Archiver's yesterday and stamp with my stampin' buddies. I have been doing a significant amount of blog hopping these days, and I knew yesterday's buddy time would be spent creating entries for Julee's Mojo Madness Contest. I haven't ever participated in her challenges, but I thought it would be fun since I feel like I'm on a roll. I couldn't decide which card I liked most so I decided to make two and see which one you think I should enter.
This first card I attempted was this one using Papertrey Ink's Bitty Baby Blessings set. I have a niece on the way, and I figured I'd better make her card before she gets here. I used the onesie, which ended up being the most difficult part of this whole card, and two sentiments. I stamped the first sentiment "sweet little baby" on the panel behind the onesie, then used the "welcome little one" as my main sentiment. I Cuttlebugged the Swiss Dots along the bottom, then used my new Doodlebug "Stick With It" adhesive transfers to create the flocked flourishes. (More on this product later.) I wanted to stay with the pink and black theme because it's so elegant and girly. Finally back to the onesie. First I stamped it onto some Basic Grey paper but I wasn't feelin' it. Then I stamped it onto the Sweet Blush but it was way too much pink and didn't offer enough of a contrast. I finally decided to stamp it on white and use my Copics to give it a hint of pink. That's the one I decided to go with. Last but certainly not least, I added the BLING!!
The second card I created to send as a RAK. I love my Bella Stamps and I loved the idea of Superbella's cape extending out of the box. Every time I use this stamp, I can't help but use red glitter for her cape. I mean seriously, she's a Bella, she deserves BLING! I used my Copics to color her in and then added Glossy Accents to her hair and boots. For her background paper I used my Scor-pal to score vertical lines at every 1/2".
Both of these cards were so fun to make! I have another vision for this layout using a different Bella, so we'll have to see if it comes to fruition. So many cards, so little time. LOL
Happy Stamping!
I think you should enter the onesie card, but both are really cute :)

Love your cards. The little baby card is sure to be a hit. And, I love the way you did the cape on Super Bella.
