Vintage babies ...
February 28, 2008
I'm a bit sad to see this Stampin' Up! set Buggies and Booties retiring before I really had a chance to use it in workshops etc. It's a great vintage set if that's your style, and is great for watercolouring as well. It would suit a baby card (it also has other images of vintage prams, booties and rattles so would suit a boy too) and also would be great for a christening card with this beautiful gown image.
I have used Close to Cocoa (this is fast becoming one of my favourite colours) as well as Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla. I have stamped the background pink layer using the French Script Background (also retiring - what were they thinking!), and then matted in Very Vanilla. The main image is watercoloured using the crayons (just used Pretty in Pink), inked and matted with Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla and Close to Cocoa (which had been embossed in the Cuttlebug). Then finished off with the sentiment in Close to Cocoa, and some pink gingham ribbon and hodgepodge with lace, brads and other ribbon from my stash.
The retired list has been updated some more and I will update it again in the morning. Sorry about the formatting - don't have time to retype the whole thing!
Off to get ready for a team get together for some informal training tomorrow. Out team is growing rapidly and the girls are so much fun to stamp and chat with, so I am really looking forward to catching up with them all. Have a great day yourself,

beautiful!
