"Little Lamb"

Welcome!

If you've been following me for awhile, you will already know that I love, love, love

 retro and vintage cards!
And, today's card I'm sharing with you goes down that retro road!

I was so excited to see the new challenge we're running at Unstampabelles this month!

"Incorporate an Animal or Bird...using Pastel Colors"

I knew I had the perfect collage sheets I had purchased off Etsy to create for this one!
Remember those retro baby lamb images that used to be used for baby cards many years ago...I'm pretty sure my mom received something similar when I was born! LOL
(I'm really dating myself now aren't I!)

Well, I got busy and here's where my creativity led me...

Now, the colors are actually a lot softer than what they appear here in the photo.
This was a super fast and simple card to make.  The card is actually just a note card size which for me means it's gonna be more clean and simple with few embellies.  The only extra touch I've added is to add Glitter Ritz to the grass to make it shimmer like it's covered in dew, and I've also added a touch of white flocking to the lamb.

I think this would make such a cute and different baby card!

Taking into consideration that Easter (all those pastel colors)  is just around the corner,  I don't think you should have any trouble coming up with a card or scrapbook page to play along with us this month.  Just remember...No Stamping!
It's really not that hard...and it challenges you to think outside the box!
For more inspiration, please take a peek at what the other Belles have created for you here!

Oh, and lastly I should mention that we are sponsored by Regal Press this month!  They are generously offering one lucky winner a $15 gift voucher!

So, put on those thinking caps and see where this challenge can lead you this month!

Until next time...

offering one lucky winner 2 digis of their choice!

I had the priviledge of choosing a digi from A&T Digital Designs and fell in love with the fairy image called "Pip".  I decided to use the image of the "Anything Goes" photo and the water droplets in this image were perfect!

Here's a peek...

...and here's a closer look at the sweet little fairy...

I water colored her with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  I was looking through a Recollections vintage stack and found this paper that totally matched the colors I had used and also reminded me of water droplets!  Then as luck would have it, TLC Creations posted this free sentiment for "Umbrella Day"...did you know it gave such a day...I did not!  LOL
I loved the sentiment though and thought it would be perfect to send to a close friend...it just suited the digi perfectly!

I finished the card off by inking the edge with a green color, put some Glitter Ritz on the fairy's wings and then I added some Glossy Accents to the rain drops.  The finishing touch was to add the 3 rhinestones under the sentiment. 
Not a complicated card, but rather simplistic and straight forward!

Now it's your turn!
Please join us at {Pin}spirational Challenges this week where "Anything Goes".
Looking forward to see what you create!

Until next time...
