Good Morning everyone.
Last week my 5th niece was born - Charlotte Rose. So im sharing the 2 cards i made for her, as usual for family occasions i make 2 as one is for my parents so i always try and make them completely different.
7x7" White scalloped cardblank. I mounted pink patterened paper onto grey pearl card and then the base card. I die cut my elephant from the soft grey pearl card and the pink paper and layered together. I die cut a white frame and added it to the card front with foam tape, i added my elephant and my die cut sentiment - the baby is one word and i made up the 'girl' using individual alpha dies. .
Close up on my little elephant. I added a darker eye to help it stand out a little bit more as in retrospect think the paper might be too busy. In order to cut the pink paper elephant i first cut the grey card elephant and left the die cut in the die and then cut the paper, this means it just cut around the outside of the elephant and not the lacy inside.
For card 2 i used neutrals and a little lion, approx 5.5x5.5". I first die cut my lion from beige dotty card and champagne glitter card, i then cut off the main and tail and glued onto the dotty lion. I added a piece of brown card to the back of his head for the ears/eyes. I die cut a octogen from ivory card and stamped my greeting in chocolate brown, i mounted this onto a champagne glitter octogen.
Using my crealies octogen patchword die set i die cut the beige dotty card into patchwork peices and mounted them onto a large octogen from ivory cardstock. I then added the lion topper panel with foam tape. I used a dark brown fine liner pen to add in stitch details.
A close up on my lion, sadly the photo doesn't do the glitter card justice as it really sparkles.

Two beautiful cards Emma and congratulations on the safe arrival for your family. Thank you for the tip with the die cutting, I wouldn't have thought about cutting it again with the pieces left in it to get the outline. I do love your pink and grey ele. Big hugs Kirsty. x
