New Baby Card




 A colleague at work had a little girl recently so I have eventually had some time to finish off her card so another colleague can take to her at the week-end.  I have used two different backing papers from Joanna Sheen's Baby Love CD as I didn't have any suitable baby papers in my stash.  The scalloped digital image is a freebie from Cardmaking Downloads (it should have been a rocker-style card but I stuck the decoupaged layers onto the front of my card).  The image is a new Whiff of Joy stamp which hasn't seen the "light of day" until now and is of Willow holding her baby.  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with my Sakura Stardust clear pen.  I printed out various different baby sayings and then cut them out with a Spellbinders die and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz's tattered Rose distress ink pad.  I could have done with the help of Joanna Sheen as I decided to make a little floral display in one corner with some babies breath, two hat pins, leaves and various different flowers (can I let you into a secret - some of the smaller flowers have been recycled off a birthday card I was given last year by a customer that she'd had from someone else ie she didn't want to keep the card but had taken things off for me to use).  Think I could certainly do with more experience of flower arranging!!!  The card is finished off with a sentiment off the computer, various Forever Friends stickers, buttons, ribbon and glittery gel stickers.  Just hope the new mum and dad like it.
