A Rockin' Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for another challenge week with Team B at The Paper Shelter and this week we are asking you to make a Shaped Card.

It's been a while since I made a rocking stepper card and I thought it was the perfect thing to go with 'How You Doin'?'. I picture this little hedgehog all curled up and just rocking away!

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

Precious Little Angel

I made this card for a friend who will be having her baby girl any time soon.  I just got this wonderful image from Bugaboo Stamps and thought it would be perfect for a rocking stepper card.  (And also for their latest challenge, which is a Bingo challenge.  I am going all out on this one and opted for the 'full house'!)
I usually colour images with watercolour pencils, but I have just invested in some ProMarkers.  I have only coloured a few images so far, so I'm still practising. I don't have a lot of colours yet, so can't do any amazing blending techniques. They take a bit of getting used to, but don't smell as much as I thought they would and are good value for a starter to alcohol inks. 
If you would like to make a similar card, I followed instructions from Beccy's Place.

I have used the following materials to create this card:

• Card from my stash
• Bugaboo image - Moon Baby, Sweet Dreams
• Patterned papers & banner free from Making Cards magazine
• Buttons & pearls from Papermania
• Whispers ink pad
• Promarkers
• Sizzix flower die and dotty embossing folder
• Outline stickers from Little Claire Designs
