Fun challenge, use 3's! For my baby card, I used 3 paint chips & 3 colors...white, pink, & vanilla. I'm also adding this to the Little Things Fan Club gallery.
The idea for this card came from the nest image & these paint chips I had. I made the bg for the nest panel using Copic refills & isopropyl alcohol (more details on my blog). Stamped the nest on top w/ Memento, added just a touch more color in areas of the image, then over stamped w/ Versafine. Added the (shortened) die cut greeting & used a white gel pen to highlight the eggs.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, details on the bg, Copic colors & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

How beautifully soft and pretty, Julie! I have some paint chips someone sent me, and I must pull them out and use them (ours are too small to be practical for anything, I can't believe how generously sized yours are!!). I know that those are eggs, but with the soft pastel colours - this makes me think of sugared almonds - I can just see them presented as a favour in a little nest.
I love misting with alcohol - I had to make sure to keep my mister tucked in with my alcohol inks though, after accidentally using it on watercolour one day.

Julie, this is such a precious baby girl card. I love the nest and pretty background. This little baby's parents are going to love this soft creation. How fun to use the paint chips.

Luv how you used the paint chips for the background. The refills/alcohol focal piece is beautiful and he sentiment really stands out - great dimension.

It took me a second, but I would have liked to see the look on face when I realized this was a baby card. I have seen some sweet baby cards.....this might be the sweetest. I love it. Faved!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
