Look Out World Baby card

German Phrase of the Day: Der Junge hat viele Energie! = The boy has lots of energy!

Today's card is one I made for Kristina Werner's Color Challenge LAST week. I loved the soft colors with the splash of pumpkin, and of course it being baby shoes how could I resist?? I started with a soft sky base stamped with my floral background stamp in the same color ink (had to stamp it twice because it was quite dirty the first time!!) Then I had my very vanilla scalloped piece (scalloped with the slit punch, my new scallop punch will be waiting for me when I get to California!) I then added the strip of pumpkin pie on top and added the Soft Sky double stitched ribbon.

I stamped my egg image on the Very Vanilla cs and on some Soft Sky Prints DSP to paper piece the egg. I colored my little chickie with SU! markers (pumpkin pie and so saffron) and stamped the sentiment with Certainly Celery ink. Lastly, I added a few little grass bits freehand with my celery marker.

Yes, I definitely have baby on the brain lately...but I guess that goes with the territory! For those who are interested, I've added a picture from our ultrasound today. He actually was sleeping most of the time, altho it was neat to realize he was still kicking me in his sleep because I was convinced he was awake, and we did see him swinging his foot around, but the top half never moved!

Supplies: (all supplies from SU! unless noted)
Stamps: Look out World, One of the Those Days by Paper Pretties , Floral background from SU!
CS: Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, Soft Sky Prints DSP

Ink: Brilliance black, certainly celery, so saffron, pumpkin pie

Acc: Soft Sky double stitched ribbon

TFL!
