Baby Rattle

 

Hello .... 

For this card, I started with masking off a piece of white CS and blending Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, Warn Lipstick and Mustard Seed. 
I then blended Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard seed on a piece of scrap and cut the letters for baby with my Circut using Plantin School House font cartridge. 
From a piece of pink cs, I cut the baby rattle using the Cricut Sampler cartridge.  I then cut the rattle out with my Spellbinders circle die.  Using the negative die cut as a  mask, I blended the same distress colors onto the white cs with the blended edge.  With the die cut circle, I used a white gel pen and faux stitched around the edge and the rattle itself and then raised it over the sponged circle with dimensional tape.
I grabbed a piece of grosgrain ribbon from my stash -- as well as a few matching flowers -- cropped the corners round and then mounted the whole kit and kaboodle onto a white top fold cs base.  So cute for a new baby.
