A close friend of mine has become a grandmother again to a baby girl, so this is the card I made for her. Most of her grand-children are pretty much grown-up and this baby has been long-awaited by her son & DIL - so my friend is over-the-moon to have a new grand-baby in her life. It seemed fitting to choose an image with a moon - isn't this image adorable?!! I LOVE making baby cards - they are so much fun to make :-)
The image was stamped onto 140lb/300gsm Watercolour paper and watercoloured with JoSonya Acrylic paints. I lightly chalked around the image with blue Kaiser chalks. I added Art Institute pink transparent glitter to the bear's hat & muzzle, plus the edge of the pink blanket. I added AI lemon transparent glitter to the edges of the star. The tiny hearts (the leftover punchies from my Arrows border punch) on the sentiment have also been glittered & I ran my Spun Sugar (pink) ink around the edge of the sentiment, then attached it to the panel with a yellow button brad. The image is up on 1mm mounts (dimensionals).
This is the first time I ever done REAL stitching on the card, but I chickened out using my sewing machine - I thought the needle might get gummed up from the adhesive on the ds tape plus the panel is quite thick, so I simply pierced the holes with a paper piercer, then sat in front of the TV that evening and hand-stitched it while I watched my favorite shows. I LOVE how it looks and will definitely do it again.
