Baby boy card

Hiya everybody,


Both Aleeza and Zeenya are asleep so I thought I would post another card... 

This card is rather simple but you will not believe how long it took me to complete - FOREVER!!! 



Materials used:


White cardstock


Ribbons and woolen yarn: all from my stash


Embossing done with Cuttlebug pram 


Distressing with Jim Holtz Ranger distress ink - broken china


Rounded the corners of the rectangular patch with Ek Success corner rounder


Used double sided foam to give the pram more dimension


Sentiment - printed ribbon which I cut and pasted
Ribbon weaving - with my Fiskars border weaving punch (love affair gets stronger...lol!) 







Am going to enter this card in the following challenges:


 www.ynschallenges.blogspot.com/ - feeling blue (no I am not, lol)


www.alyssundaychallenge.blogspot.com/ - anything goes (my fave challenges when it is anything goes)


It is a simple card but they do seem to be in demand at my charity sales, you know.


Hugs,


Monica

Wow, Monica, I really missed a bunch of posts! : ) Such a sweet baby boy card! I can believe it took you a while, look at everything you did to it, PLUS you had to thread that beautiful ribbon thru those ribbon slats. That must have taken some time. All in all your efforts will be appreciated, I'm sure.

What a nice boy card! Once again, I love the ribbon weaving!! And that's a great use of the "It's a Boy" ribbon!
