Welcome Little One

Hi bloggers!  How about a sweet baby card for today?  I think these bunting dies work perfectly for baby cards, among other things so I couldn't help myself!  I started by stamping my sentiment in the upper corner using a coffee archival ink pad.  I added a panel of some pretty tone on tone decorative paper from my stash to the side, matted in dark brown card.  I embossed a smaller piece of white card using my Cascading Hearts embossing folder.  I matted it with dark brown then layered it over the first panel.  I stamped another sentiment in coffee archival and cut it out with Vintage Labels three.  I inked through the die with Tumbled glass.and then matted it with a larger sized Labels Three die.  I tied a double bow from some pretty hombre blue and brown organza ribbon and added a brown Dazzler to the centre as an accent.  I cut  a couple of the different shaped buntings and stamped them.  One was stamped with the dotted stamp from the Buntings and Banners set from Justrite stamps.  The other was stamped with the word Baby, but I used one letter for each flag and inked them lightly through the die with Tumbled glass again.  I crisscrossed them on the top of the card around the sentiment and added  tiny bows tied from the pastel Bakers twine.  I finished the card with a double white pierced mat to nicely frame.  It makes me wish I had someone to send it to!  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
