Get Funky Challenge - July

The Get Funky challenge for July is 'Something New', and whilst we were on holiday the daughter of some good friends of ours had a baby girl - so a new baby card was the ideal subject for my entry. I had already printed the Pink Petticoat image of a baby girl in a buggy so rustled this card up last night (and I do mean night and not evening) so that I could enter it in the challenge and deliver it today. Now I'm not a big fan of pink so I decided to go with a yellow theme and began my search for suitable papers by looking through the 'Funky Seasons' CD - I always seem to start with this one probably because it was the first Funky Hand CD that I bought. The yellow spotty paper chose itself but then I needed something plain to go with it as I wanted to use my baby themed embossing folder. I did like a peachy coloured paper that I thought would match the spots but when it was printed I wasn't quite right so I ended up with .... pink. Not a colour I would normaly choose but I'm really please with the combination ... it reminds me of ice-cream. I used two copies of the image, coloured with Promarkers, and decoupaged the buggy and parasol with Glue Gel to get a 3D effect. The finishing touch was the ribbon, which I had to colour to match, and a teddy bear charm.
