This is for Becca Stamps (woo-hoo!!), today's featured stamper. I've been stumped for two weeks over the design for a baby card to welcome a dear family's new son who is named in honor of St. Augustine. Becca's amazing (boy, is her blog aptly named!) card is here: Frills and Just My Type - New Cuttlebug by Becca Stamps at Splitcoaststampers
It provided the perfect layout. I'm so glad she explained how difficult it is to keep all the border embossing folders where you want them and suggested using tape. Very helpful tip! Thanks for sharing so much, Becca! Your talent is truly amazing.
Changes:
This card is an A2 size. I needed a St. Augustine quote so my script is computer generated and I simplified the ribbon, punched lace border that looks so goreous on Becca's card.
p.s. I set the script up in text boxes so they're easy to change to other sentiments as the need arises.
