What a challenge this weeks theme at Allsorts was for me, but I have done my best to come up with something half decent for Wendy's theme of Baby Baby. Our sponsor this week is Whiff of Joy so every reason to join in for a really great opportunity to win one of their lovely stamps.
I have to admit that baby cards along with wedding and the like really do put the frighteners on me, mainly because most of the suitable stamps require colouring in which is right outside my comfort zone, but that is I guess what a challenge is all about.
I initially made the card below for the theme but was not really happy with it so the one above is a last minute addition after seeing the sweet baby images on Ignacio's Nicecrane web site and thinking this particular one would go very well with some Graphic 45 Secret Garden DP's and some silk ribbon in my stash which I used to make the flower. So here it is along with several Spellbinders, Cheery Lynn and Memory Box dies.
And this is the original make using a really old stamp from Stamp Happens happen which I coloured with watercolours, done a bit of matting and layering and used a piece of Nitwits DP to carry the colours, fairly simple stuff.
I would like to enter the top card for following challenges:
A creative romance - dies and punches
Chocolate coffee and cards - Anything goes
Wags and whiskers - Ribbons and bows
The sugar bowl - Anything goes
And the second card into:
Crafty little fairies - New baby
Delightful challenges - New beginnings
Now for the winners of last weeks candy who is re-drawn 20/9 as not claimed and new winner Marylin mailed, well done please mail me with your full name and postal addy. And this week I have a set of cute birdcage stamps, same rules as usual....................

beautiful cards, Brenda.
vintage card have a nice picture on it. very lovely.

Wonderful cards, both of them but I think I prefer the top one. Ignacio's lovely vintage image suits all the other layers and embellishments so well!
Fab cards oldies are often goodies otherwise why did you buy them in the first place, lovely candy too thanks for the chance.
Hi Brenda, love the way you have used this cute baby image. I have this set graciously gifted by Ignacio, hope I can do justice to these lovely images!! You have done an awesome job....and thanks for a chance at the lovely stamps!!

I like both cards, but I do like the vintage one best as I love that style. I love the colours and absolutely adore the ribbon and button you used! x
Sweet cards! ;)
I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Очень понравились открытки! особенно "Vintage" - просто восторг!
Actually, they are both lovely cards, Brenda, but the top one is definitely more your signature style, with perfectly matching colours and gorgeous ribbon. Love the soft colouring of the bottom card though.
Have a wonderful weekend!

The top one does it for me Brenda. Love that image and all the embellishments. Love your new style of copy writing the card too.

I do like your choice of the 2nd one you put on Brenda. I,m into blue and brown at the moment. Both cards are lovely though. xxx
two great cards Brenda - I love the vintage one but the other one is very cute too - lovely - hope you have a great day xx
Two lovely cards Brenda!
They are both so different but both beautiful. I love the mother and child image, it's so sweet and the colours you've used for this card are a perfect match.
Thanks again for the chance of winning your blog candy. I've added the logo and image of your candy to my sidebar with the links back.
Have a lovely weekend.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
They are both lovely b, however the nicecrane one is more you! Tracy xx
Two lovely but very different cards Brenda. I think I have to agree with you my favourite would be the first card. I just love that image and fern die. Have a great weekend
These are both lovely cards Brenda. The colours of the first one are gorgeous and I love the little bunnies on the second one coloured so beautifully with water colours. Those little roses are so sweet too. Michelle x
I really like your dancing bunnies, but I have to admit that the vintage card is my favorite. I don't make babycards that often myself nor weddingcards. I think that they are difficult to make too.

Beautiful cards! love the vintage baby card..:)

They are both gorgeous Brenda - I particularly love the vintage one too - gorgeous diecuts! Congrats to Rosie! Thank-you for generous candy chance. Nicola x
I like the way you solved the dilemma with both of your examples. The second one really evokes soft baby colours & makes me think of soft muslin overhanging & decorating a cot - one of those old fashioned ones with t sort of pyramid over the basket...... The first is my favourite though - what a super way of using the image & making it special.

Beautiful creations as always. Loving the vintage design.
