I received this darling stamp from Rubberneckers, and a big thanks to all you wonderful enablers out there(and you KNOW who you are, I don't have to mention any names, do I???) I really tried hard to add more to this 4x 4 card but nothing looked right, it all seemed to take away from the sweet simplicity of the image. The tag overpowered the image and the ribbon seemed too bright so I left it alone. I will handwrite welcome baby across the bottom AFTER the crystal effects in the window panes dries, you know if I don't wait the results could be disasterous!
I embossed the image in black to give some tooth to it before I watercolored with my inkpad tops. The blue is prismacolor marker. As i was coloring I got a little confused about what season it was supposed to be, The dots COULD be stars but the sun is out, or is that the moon, and there are leaves on the tree branch so I have decided it is an early spring snow squall on a sunny day. I used my new dotted swiss CB folder to add to the simple baby theme of the card and that it it! TFL and as always have a lovely and inky day!
