A good friend of mine loaned me her Wild About You stamp set so I can make some baby shower invitations. I decided to make my Welcome Baby card first and pulled out a sketch challenge and a color challenge that I hadn't tackled yet.
I started with a Certainly Celery card base, cut the three dp layers...1 1/8", 1 3/8" and 1 5/8"...and layered them on Not Quite Navy cs that was cut 1/8" bigger.
I stamped the elephant with Bashful Blue ink, the giraffe with Certainly Celery ink, and the bird with Not Quite Navy ink onto Whisper White cs. I added the grass with my Blender Pen and Certainly Celery ink. I stamped the bird and the elephant again onto scrap Whisper White cs so I could cut out the elephant's ear and the bird. They're popped up with Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on Whisper White cs, cut it out and adhered it to the Hodgepodge piece. It's attached to the main panel with brads. I then just added the giraffe's bow tie with a Mini Glue Dot, layered the panel onto Not Quite Navy cs and adhered it to the card base with Dimensionals.
I'm really happy with this card and think that the Mom-To-Be will like it, too. TFL - Regina
