Today's CAS Challenge at SCS is to do a card with a Rock & Roll theme! I'm really out of touch with Rock & Roll music, so I was thinking I could use the rock & roll technique for inking up a stamp. Then our youngest daughter (Luke's Mommy) called with news from the ultrasound. Did I tell you she was expecting in July?
Well, it really hit home that once this baby comes, we're going to be doing some rockin' & rollin'!
Can you guess what they think the ultrasound shows? (Ruthann & Sarah, don't let on that you know, ok?)
I had some of this paper left in my stash. I know it's not Stampin' Up! but I've gotta use what's handy.
I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, punched 2, and used my paper cutter to trim the tops off. Then I used the 1", 3/4" & 1/2" Circle Punches for the wheels.
When my friend gave me the paper, she also gave me a sheet of decorative strips to match. I trimmed some of those for the scallop trim and the handle. I also cut the circles for the wheels out of the trim. A tiny scrap of lace tucks into the carriage for a blanket.
I used the BIG GUY and the Top Note Die for the background. The white one is trimmed at the perforations.
Then, I was really brave! I used a Stamp & Write Marker and wrote the words to Rock-a-bye Baby on the card base.
So you see this card Rocks and Rolls!
Card Recipe

Ink: Bashful Blue SU Marker

Accessories: 2 1/2", 1", 3/4", & 1/2" Circle Punches, Lace, Big Shot, Top Note Die
We had a great time at Emmy's birthday party yesterday. She loved opening presents and eating cake. It was kind of wild with an excited 2 yr. old Birthday Girl and her 6 cousins! But it was so much fun!
Enjoy,

Fabulous take on "Rock and Roll" for this card!! Super work, Bonnie; this is so cute. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a new grandbaby coming. What is more exciting than that!! I'm guessing a boy. LOL Your carriage is just adorable and I love the added blankie. Too sweet.
ReplyDeleteAck!!! I hadn't heard yet ... but had a hunch. :) Looks like I was right on again. The day before Luke's birth, I told the two of them I just felt strongly that they were having a boy.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Emmy had a fun birthday! And, of course, your card is gorgeous - loving that bit of lace. Sorry - I got more excited by your grandkids first, but I'm sure you'll forgive me for that! :)
Congratulations on that wonderful baby news, Bonnie! And how clever of you to make a buggy that rocks a baby to sleep and rolls down the street. Love your interpretation of that CAS challenge!
