Progressive Freebie at Scrapper's Delights

There is something rather special about progressive challenges, everyone is a winner! They can also be something of a challenge especially when the image takes you out of your comfort zone and is not one you would necessarily choose. However with this image I was on safer ground.




Materials used:Scrapper's  Delights - Sleeping Baby Boo
Scrapbook Gems - Baby Girl Digital Papers
Scrapbook Gems - Baby Boy Digital Papers
X-Cut doily die
banner and greeting acrylic stamps
black archival ink pad
X-Press It card
printer paper
blue and pink buttons
art chalks and applicator
Copic pens:
skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
babygrow boy - B21, B23, B24     buttons - B28
babygrow girl - R81, R83, R85, R56    buttons - R89, R39

The backing papers and the papers for the die cut doily are printed from the Scrapbook Gems sets. The banners are shaded using chalks.

I could not make a girl card and not a boy one as well.
I recently bought a metal shim for my die cutting machine because I was not getting a clean cut from some of my more intricate dies. I am happy to say that it worked a treat and for the first time I managed a clean cut with just one pass instead of having to go backwards and forwards several times. They really do work. However a word to the wise, the first time I used it I followed a YouTube video but the demonstrator had positioned the metal sheet and dies so the dies cut into it, instead of the sheet being ontop of the dies. Luckily no serious damage was done to either the die or the plate, just a bit dented.

Thanks for dropping in. Take care.
