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!
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...
