Oh, my gosh, it's been forever since I made a baby card, and I have to say this was so much fun for a change! It had to be done. My friend is expecting a great-grandbaby girl so she asked for a card to celebrate the occasion.
I have a lot of baby stamps, papers, dies, you name it. My head was swimming, but I couldn't put it all on one card, even if it is a rare opportunity these days. I narrowed it down one by one, changing my mind several times along the way. Made a whole other card, didn't like it, started over... then settled on the following:
It was easy to choose a very old and still favorite Rubbernecker stamp, name unknown as it came to me unpackaged. I stamped in Memento London Fog and colored softly with Copics. Added a cute sentiment from a Power Poppy set. The pink scallops and banner are gingham designer paper. The flowers are punched, the leaves die cut. I punched 1/8" gray circles for the flower centers and applied Stickles Stardust glitter glue. Spellbinders Hydrangea Blooms 2D embossing folder provided a leafy mat with tiny blooms to match the punched flowers.
No challenges today, not even NBUS (never before used schtuff). Just feeling the fun and a great appreciation for a roomful of crafty toys. I'd better get back to the Christmas cards now.
See you again soon!
