Hi! This card was made for today's Way to Use it Challenge: Texting. Participant had a wide choice of text "ideas." I decided upon using a passage from my dissertation on the Early Effects of Human Contact in Early Childhood Development vs Sterile, Impersonal Care....Granted, it's over 25 years old, but hey, I got highest marks, so I guess it's good enough for a baby card! LOL! I changed the page format to 3 collumns and printed it out on a transparency. I attached it to the dp with brads. I didn't want the printing to take away from the image, so I left it "blur" by not securing it in the middle. I LOVE the effect.
The image was stamped in black and colored with Copic Markers. It was too bright for the papers I chose, so I sponged Close to Cocoa around the edges!
Finished size: 5" square.
Total time to complete card: 24 minutes including a bathroom break and having to stop to feed the cats.
