I'm back again today with another card using this week's Mojo Monday sketch #478. I am experimenting with baby cards for my sister-in-law, who is due at the end of the month with my baby niece. She sent me an ultrasound picture yesterday and baby is right on track and appears healthy, according to her doctors. We are excited to meet her.
So here is my second baby card (the one I think I will be giving to them).
I love the elegant colors of our new paper collection "Hello Lovely". The patterns remind me of vintage wallpaper. I used retired "Love You Forever" stamp set for the birdies.
Recipe:
Paper: Hello Lovely, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Love You Forever (retired), Artfully Sent (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Black (Memento), Sorbet (CTMH)
Tools: Circle Die (MFT), Shinhan Markers, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Coral Reef Sequins (retired), Bitty Sparkles, 3d Foam Tape (CTMH), Olive Ribbon (American Crafts)
I hope you get the chance to play along with this sketch, too. It ends on Sunday. Have a great day.

One of my first cousins just had a baby girl. She was born 5 weeks premature and had to spend a week in NICU, but she is now doing well and ready to go home. Angela reports that baby just wants to sleep; she's so tired. I made this card with Baby Amelia in mind. (Isn't that a precious name?)
Recipe:
Paper: Skylark, Splendor (retired), Sky CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Lifting Spirits, Petite Perks (CTMH)
Ink: Black (VersaFine)
Tools: Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Craft Heater, Honey Alcohol Markers, Sweet Leaf Alcohol Markers, Crystal Blue Alcohol Markers, Paper-Piercer, Watercolor Pencil, Corner Rounder (CTMH), Oval Die & Scallop Oval Die (Spellbinders), Cloudy Sky Embossing Folder (Darice)
Other: Honey Brads (retired)
I love this color combo from Color Throwdown. And I would like to thank Mojo Monday for another great sketch. What was even better was that they included some suggested card sizes with their sketch to take the guesswork out of it. I chose the 3.5 x 5.5 size. It still fits beautifully in a standard A2 envelope. Yay!
It is currently raining here today, but that means the temperatures are above freezing. Happy Friday!
