boy was it a cute card!

the baby card

One of our neighbours has just given birth to a beautiful baby boy. An excuse for a card I thought so off I went to find scraps and blue bits and pieces to see what I could come up with that was a little different to the pram stickers and such like that you see about. I brought out a box of dies that have been gathering dust for some time, which is a waste as I have one of the new sizzix express which is so cool. Anyway that is another post so back to the baby card. There was baby boo the cuttle bug die. I found some buff card in the scraps box and a little bit of blue checked gingham in there too. I printed out a congratulations verse on the pc and silvered the edges with an ink pad to make it look a bit more professional. I used sakura pens to colour in bears face and ears. The I cut a piece of the bear again with ecru card and cut it straight across the midriff to look like a nappy. The little piece of gingham became a blanket and a piece of ric rac became a background. Then I rummaged for a piece of ribbon to tie it all together and make my little square I printed on pc into a tag. I found a piece of downtown ribbons and it added a little colour that wasnt baby blue :o)

I think it is ok considering it is made from bits n pieces that were already lying in my craft room. I knew that I was keeping all these bits for something, and that something appeared today!
