Welcome Baby

 Hi bloggers! Didn't Kim do a great job on the show yesterday?!  I really want to thank you all for the warm welcome you gave her!  This was my favourite card from the set with the Vintage Bundle Of Joy stamps by Justrite.    I just adored the old fashioned feel to these designs.  I started with a  piece of milk coloured card and embossed it with the Large Polka Dot Mask to give some texture to the background.  I folded two opposite corners down and secured them with Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue, then added a pearl to the top corner of it.  In the upper corner, I used the Filigree Bracket and Label die set by Becca Feeken.  I cut two of the tag and nipped them in half and used three of the ends, tucking the cut edge under my turned corner.  On the bottom corner, I used the felt from the blossom pack and cut several flowers using the Bitty Blossom die set and the Vintage Floret die set.  I also made one flower into a spiral from a simple circle die cut.  I added some leaves to the arrangement using the Bitty Blossom set as well.  For the central focal element, I stamped the Bundle of Joy stamps that matched the Vintage Labels Five die set from Justrite.  I added my sentiment and cut them out with the matching dies.  I used a light inking of Milled Lavender  Distress Ink while still in the die on both pieces, then layered them up and added them to the centre of my card.  I tied a messy bow out of mauve seam binding, topping it with a single Vintage Floret flower cut from the cream felt and adorned with a flatback  pearl.  Above and below, I added some pearl swirls as accents.  I matted it with a soft lavender card so it showed where the card corners had been turned back.  Then I finished the card with a double milk mat with a pierced inner layer.  When I finished this card, I was really chuffed with  the way it turned out.  I just need to find someone having a baby now! LOL  Finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
