It was love at first sight with the Moon Baby stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. Too bad it's not translated to French, but the silver lining is that it allowed me to get this stamp set in wood-mount. I drew inspiration from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch #256 and paired the stamp set with the Carried Away Designer Series Paper offered as a free item during Sale-A-Bration. The cloud pattern was perfect to go with the baby sleepingon the moon, and that image fit perfectly in the biggest stitched circle die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
For the colour combo, I started with Mint Macaron, which was the sky colour on the patterned paper I have selected. I looked at past ColourQ combos for inspiration and #331 caught my eye, so I picked current colours to create a similar look. The two bottom strips of cardstock were stamped with Delicate Details, a stamp set also offered during Sale-A-Bration (I expect I'll be using this one a lot).
I stamped the three stars image from the stamp set and colored them with Gold Wink of Stella, before cutting them out and adding them around the main image. The stamp set includes great sentiment, but I wanted something in French so I selected "Congratulations" from the Iconic Occasions hostess stamp set (2017 Occasions Catalogue). And that adorable frame? It's part of the Build It Framelits collection (the one with the tools). It cuts out a tag with a frame. It you handle the frame carefully, the outside will stay on the piece and you have a tag with an impressed border. But you can also tear the two pieces apart, so I was able to create an outer frame in Bermuda Bay cardstock and glue it over the first piece. The Mint Macaron cardstock was covered with Clear Wink of Stella to make it shimmery. Gold enamel shape stars were also added to the background.
