Today I thought I would share with you a neat trick that I learnt years ago, that just requires a bit of ink or paint to create a Baby foot. I also thought this idea would be perfect for this week's CAS-ual Friday challenge
HERE, using two circles!
This is how you make a print of a baby's foot, curl your hand into a fist and ink the side (I used Tsukineko Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue ink for this) as below, then stamp onto card.
I then inked my little finger and added toes, voila your baby foot emerges!
Once this was finished I then cut a circle using Spellbinders nesting circles and a corresponding frame from '
Clear Skies' 10-001mix and match cardstock (this card is a perfect match for Tsukineko's Blue Sky Brillance ink), stamped the sentiment onto another circle using Penny Black's 'Kate'
upper case 20-005 and
lower case 20-006 .
This was then mounted onto a panel of card stamped with '
Allover Pattern' 40-109 using Brilliance ink. To finish off the panel was mounted onto a '
Clear Skies' 10-001card blank and Baby blue liquid pearls and twine used to accent.
I just love how the baby foot has a skin like texture using this method.
Thank you for visiting me today and for taking the time to leave such encouraging comments, they really mean a lot to me.

Ah, I remember that (the technique and my kids' tiny feet!) Great card, I think I'll get inky and have a go.
How clever! Gorgeous, Jo x
Absolutely super - adds a completely different dimension to inky fingers.
"Why are your fingers so inky?"
"I've been making baby feet"
Sorry - couldn't resist it.
Your post just made me chuckle & I love your use of the background stamp.

aww too cute..
So darn cute, Cathy! When we were kids, my sisters and I used to make this imprint on the foggy card windows. Love the way your card turned out! :)
