From Rupert, with Love ....

Hi,

This is my second week as a GDT at Incy Wincy Designs. Thanks for sharing all your Easter and Pastel Colours with us last week. This week the challenge is Cute Critters and we have been sponsored by Stamping Dragon Designs. A friend had already asked me to make a baby boy card for her son and daughter-in-law, and I knew that Rupert with Heart was just the thing! So here's the card I made:

My card recipe is as follows:

• Base Card - 300gsm Centura Pearl Card in Ivory - I love this card for its weight and sheen which just catches the light beautifully. (This is why I didn't use any papers on the front of the card!) The card was cut, scored and folded to make a 6 inch square Joy-fold card. 
• Design Papers - Both from the Paintbox Poppets CD Rom, by Crafter's Companion
• Sentiment - a freebie offered by the lovely (and former Incy Wincy DT member) Annette on her Blog. I recoloured it using my word processing package so that it toned with my card.
• This lovely little fella is called Rupert with Heart by Stamping Dragon Designs - you should visit the store as there are plenty of other dragons (as well as other goodies) there to tempt you! I brought Rupert to life in non-typical dragon colours using my Spectrum Noir Pens in the following shades (old numbering system):
• Heart - 11
• Dragon - 171, 68, 65, 64
• Outline - WG0.5, WG1
• Insert - the coloured square is from the Paintbox Poppets CD Rom which I've then put through my printer again to include this perfect sentiment by Create with TLC

I would like to enter this card for the following challenges:

• Challenge #51 - Easter Creations / Animals at My Mum's Craft Shop
• Going Dotty at The Poodles Parlour
• Challenge #73 - Easter and/or Animals at Top Tip Tuesday
• Challenge #110 - Critters at Critter Challenge

Looking forward to seeing your Cute Critters over at Incy Wincy this week. Have a great week!

Hugs, Helen x
