Ombre Baby Bumblebee

Oh my gosh! The sketch over at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog is so simple that it almost threw me for a loop. What in the world would I do with that??!!

Then I took a look at the wonderful cards the design team created and I saw that the sketch was almost anything goes–as long as it had the ribbon element at the top and remained clean and simple!!


I’ve been dying to use the totes adorbs “Baby Bumblebee” stamp with my Blendabilities. I thought this stamp would be really cute with an ombre-style using the light, medium, and dark of any Blendabilities set. I chose to use Calypso Coral–because I just got them in an order!! I also used the Skin Tone Blendabilities on the baby’s face and wings.


I love, love, love the Calypso Coral seam binding ribbon, so I simply attached a length to the top of the card and tied a simple knot in the middle. I used a glue dot to pull the center of the ribbon down a little bit…just ’cause I wanted to see how that would look.

This card was so quick to pull together and I think it’s really cute!! What do you think??
