Today's F4A challenge 'What's Your Interest' - I'm sure the broad brief will show up in wonderful cards in the gallery later. I could happily flit betwixt my grandchildren and my craft room for ever more! My card shows both - the intense love for Alexandria and Elliot at their birth - and my joy at making cards I hope people will cherish.
I melted 4 layers of EP before stamping the feet. Using a scrap of card I melted one layer of EP to create a piece for die-cutting the word.

I just stared at this amazing CAS style card trying to figure out how you made it...what a great look you achieved with all the layers of ep. Thi is so elegant and striking. What a terrific keepsake.

What a beautiful card for a baby! Wow!! Love the gold and those feet are so precious! Wow, I remember how we used to stamp into melted, hot EP...I haven't done that for a long time but your card makes me want to get my "two tons" of EP out and do it again!! This is wonderful! I love how you actually die cut some...I would have been afraid to try that! Thanks for playing today!

The deep impression in the EP is such a clever way to show the feet and so much like a baby book print! Fantastic card! I'm with you with being content with my grand children and my card making.

What a fantastic effect you achieved with the multiple layers of gold embossing powder. This is truly a frame worthy piece of art! I, too, love every minute I spend with my grandchildren - they are a blessing!
