My Mom asked me to make her a baby girl card to send to a friend of hers that just became a Grandmother. I have been so into the fall colors it was a little hard to get back into the pastels. I kept reaching for pick and brown when I first started.
So I went through my stash and found this cute Lockhart stamp which I had not inked up yet. Then I dug some more and found my pad of Garden Party paper and got to work.
My image and sentiment are both inked with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I used my Petite Oval Nestabilities Dies for the first time to cut out the layers and they are up in foam tape for extra dimension. The paper is Garden Party from Making Memories and the ribbon is from Joann's.
