My card today is all digi. Torico (one of the illustrators for There She Goes stamps) offered a free pear stamp on her blog, and I paired it with a chevron digital brush from Rhonna Farrer to make this non-traditional baby card:
In the original digi, the "girl" pear was much smaller than the "boy" pear. To make the pears more uniform, I printed out the pears twice, enlarging them the second time. Then, I fussy cut the pears and used the larger "girl" and the smaller "boy." I popped up both with foam tape, and I layered the yellow one on top of the green one.
At first, I used watercolor pencils, but didn't like how it looked, so I went over it with Copics. Live and learn! For the base, I stamped the chevrons and added my own sentiment.
Since I don't know anyone having twins, let alone a boy and a girl, I'm afraid this card will be collecting dust in my craft room for a while. Anyone having twins?
Have a great day!
Fun card and hilarious story about the birthday date:)
ReplyDeleteA pair of cute pears...love how you enlarged the girl pear...so fun and totally put a smile on my face...
ReplyDeleteBTW...you are too funny...
March is rushing by - I found that too! My husband's birthday is on the 19th and I nearly blew right past preparing for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute baby twins card - not that I'm having them. I would die, I'm pretty sure, if I was having even one more baby!

ReplyDeleteToo funny -- I just made a baby card I have no real need for, either... mine's only limited to a boy baby, though, not twins! This is super cute and perfectly coloured (no matter how you ended up doing it!).
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love the colours and the chevron background is perfect.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe time is going by ridiculously fast. I thought April was ages away but it's only like 2 weeks! Ack!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea of resizing the pears. I love your digi tips - I'm keeping a collection of them! :)
This is so cute! It totally made me giggle. Torico's illustrations are awesome and I love what you did with this digi.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute Jocelyn! Torico's designs are always fab. Could you use this for an engagement card??? I don't know anyone having twins either!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea for a twins card!!! adore them both so much.
ReplyDeleteYou work so well with digi's and I am useless in this department! This is so cute and your adjustments are awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh! It's great idea that you resized the image to make a twin baby card. So clever!
