I am expecting a grandson anytime now, so the IC this week fits the need to create a card. This card also meets the WT397 challenge to use crayons.
I stamped the word baby then masked it so it wouldn't emboss, then used a SU texturz plate to emboss the crosshatch design. I placed my cs face up instead of face down and got an inverted design, and it creased in the center, oy! I decided to go with it. Then I used my watercolor crayons to color in the crosshatch lines. I glued bashful blue gingham ribbon around the border, using glue dots in the corner folds. Lastly, I added an epoxy accent to hide as much of the crease mark as I could. Thanks for looking!

Well look at you go with your adorable bib! I definitely see where your inspiration came from on this one! How you could mask and figure out the EF is beyond me. Such a sweet card.
