No...you sillies! I didn't have a baby. One of my husband's co-workers did. The baby's name is Skye, and she is gorgeous. I hope we make a trip so I can hold her in person. There's nothing like holding a baby especially when you can hand them back to their parents if they're fussy or have a dirty diaper.
Here's the card I made for Skye's family.
The color combination is Pretty in Pink, Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron. I think it works perfectly for a baby girl!
My base card is Whisper White.
Layer #2 is some Pretty in Pink polka dot paper from the Subtles Patterns dsp stack.
My Wisteria Wonder scallop square is cut using the Scallop Squares Duo Bigz die and my Big Shot. I pierced each of the scallops with my paper piercing tool.
The So Saffron square measures 2 1/2". I sponged the edges with So Saffron ink to give it some depth.
My focal image comes from the Baby Tees Jumbo wheel. I inked it up with Black StazOn ink and rolled it onto some Whisper White cardstock. I grabbed my Aquapainter and my markers (scribbled onto a plastic stamp case) to watercolor the image. I carefully cut it out and popped it up onto my card.
I love the double scalloped edge on the bottom. It reminds me of the frilly little underpants that Amanda had when she was little. It covered up her ugly little diaper when she was wearing a dress.
My sentiment comes from the retired hostess set called Occasional Quotes.
The finishing touches include some Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and a Pretty in Pink button with some White Baker's Twine tied in the center.
I also made a baby boy card......I'll share that one with you tomorrow!!!
If you would like to make this card, all of the items to make it (with the exception of the retired sentiment) can be purchased from my ONLINE STORE.
