Hello Baby card

Hi crafty friends!

The Card Concept is having a design team call for a few of their category styles and well I very much enjoy playing along with their challenges and love the idea that you create for a certain style design. I of course had to create a card for their call!
I usually go back and forth between clean and simple and clean and graphic, when I create cards for their challenges. I enjoy clean and simple cards but usually feel the need to add a bit extra and it ends up in the clean and graphic category. So the card I have created for today is for the clean and graphic category.

I have chosen one of their previous challenges to create for.
In the inspiration picture below I loved that it was a baby nursery so I went with that but was also inspired by the bright pink color the gray, and the chevron on the drapes and sheets.






I stamped my crib first, colored it with Copic markers and then masked it off  by stamping the same image on scrap paper, fussy cutting it out an temporally adhering it over my colored image. I then used a chevron stencil to sponge on some grey ink in the background. I stamped my sentiment and colored the "baby" area in with some light gray Copics and finally adhered my panel onto melon mambo card stock
.


Thank you so much for stopping in to peak at my card!
Hope you all have a lovely day!!:)
