Welcome Baby
The sketch at Stamping 411 this week inspired me to make a baby card. This also fits the bill for the challenge at Late Night Stampers this week which is Animal Antics.
I started with Whisper White card and added a layer of Bashful Blue. The next layer consists of 3 pieces of Whisper White each of which is embossed with a different embossing folder – Vintage Wallpaper, Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice. I stamped the elephant image from the Animal Stories stampset onto Whisper White card using Bashful Blue ink. I cut the image using my circle scissors and then added “welcome baby” from the Short and Sweet stampset using Bashful Blue ink. I attached the image circle to a Bashful Blue 2 3/8″ scallop circle and then added the whole piece to the card front using dimensionals. Lastly I cut the Beautiful Wings Embosslit from Bashful Blue card and attached the smallest butterfly to the elephants trunk using a mini glue dot.
I love this card and again the sketch has inspired another card for my Christmas in July Stamp-A-Stack. Thanks Stamping 411.
Bye for now, Kris.

Kris, this card is adorable! Your background of mixed textures really sets the tone of a new nursery, ready for a baby. And the elephant in blue with the butterfly on his trunk seems to say “welcome” indeed!

I love this for a baby card, I will have to case it. All my young friends have had babies this year, and after making shower invitations for 2 of them, I have not sent cards yet after the baby arrived. Now I am inspired.
