Two new babies and CASology week 104

A few weeks ago, my husband and I were attending the 60th Birthday party of his twin uncles. While all the family were there, we received the wonderful news that another set of twins had joined the family! This time, it was my husband's cousin who had just become a double Daddy!!! A boy and a girl to join the ever expanding clan.

As soon as I knew the genders, it was time to set to work on creating a card for their arrival. I originally planned to do one card for both, but it ended up being easier to create one for each in the stereotypical blue and pink colours.

I had recently purchased a gorgeously cute teddy stamp and I wanted to use this.

I set to work on the little girl card first. As you will know, I have become a little too obsessed by shaker cards!! I really wanted to add a little bit of shaker and so created this as a heart shaped balloon. Another technique I wanted to try, was to do some paper piercing. I had some fab patterned paper that was dying to be used. I found some suitable for both cards.

Here is the little girl card -

And here is the little boy card which I am also entering in to Casology's challenge which is 'Pet'….pet teddy???

The little boy card was actually a lot less 'fussy' than the girl one, but I actually much prefer it. Simple, but cute.

Both teddies were given a little glossy accents on their noses in order to give them that little bit of something special.

I now need to get the cards posted as the babies are already 10 days old!!!!!!

Many thanks for looking. Any comments are so very much appreciated.
