New Arrival



I don't often get the chance to make a new baby card but my friend's daughter is due any day now and we know it's a boy so I've made this card for them and I'm also entering the new CD Sunday challenge for the first time. The theme this week is 'Baby Talk' so this card should fit the bill. The CD I have used is Joanna Sheen's Precious Petals for the backing paper which is printed onto Conqueror paper. The MS punched border down the side is one strip of the bp over one strip of vellum - both inked lightly with pale blue ink. The image is a Sketching Stamper digi stamp - coloured with pencils, cut out with a Wizard die and lightly inked while stil in the die. The flowers are made from Nellie Snellen punches and the sentiment is a Rubbadubbadoo magnetic stamp - embossed in gold ep.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Beryl,

Love the image on this Baby Boy card. Just ever so sweet and the hearts on the side make it sweeter still. I think this is just so special that the new mom will put this one in the new baby book for a keepsake for sure.

Hugs, Martha
