Reminder Post - Something New at For Fun Challenges

This challenge posted last week is actually running for 2 WEEKS, so today I'm posting a half-way  reminder post... 

The current challenge at For Fun Challenges is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps... and our challenge for you is to create and commemorate something NEW ... it could be the New Year, a new baby, a new house... Our Design Team at For Fun has a wonderful variety of creations to share... hop on over and see!  I created a New Baby card, using a delightful image from our sponsor.

Ingredients: White, Sky Blue(s) Cardstock; Stardust Glitter Pens; Le Plume marker; White Gel Pen; Rhinestones; Gelly Lace Border; Lingerie Bow....

I love the fun bold figures of the AKV (A Kid's View) range at Bugaboo. I  coloured the image mostly with a glitter pens, using a Le Plume marker for the babe's face, and white gel pen for the clouds.  I trimmed it, and matted it on a layer of pearly blue cardstock, then fixed it directly to a Sky Blue cardbase (it looks more of a pale teal to me...)   I then added a piece of Gelly Lace - it's a sticker, but made of a soft gel, about as soft as a peel-off sentiment.... very delicate!  It has a wonderfully smooth texture.    Finally, I added a wee bow, a lingerie bow (or as I used to call as a kid, "Knicker Bows"), and some blue rhinestones to the corners, for sparkle sparkle!

I'm created this card with my niece in mind....she is due to give birth to her second child any time now... and you guessed it, HE will be my first great-nephew! We're all so excited... all the fellas in the family want him name after them, and most of the gals are using their name in the 'masculine' so he will be named after them!  I wouldn't be surprised if he is named something like Fred,  or George!

I hope you'll join us at For Fun Challenges for our new NEW Challenge! Thanks for peepin'!
