Welcome Baby Jarod!

A good friend and customer had a beautiful baby boy a couple of weeks ago, and as soon as I heard the news, I sat down to make a card for her. Baby cards are about the only cards that I never make in advance...I always like to personalise them. I used Chipboard stars (from On Board Accents) and Spring Showers Designer Paper for the feature of this card. Big Deal Alphabet has been getting a workout lately! I substituted the 'o' on Jarod with the "welcome little one" circle from the Riveting set (this stamp always seems to make it's way onto my baby cards!) Lots of shades of blue here: Buckaroo, Bashful and Bordering.
I get to meet baby Jarod for the first time tomorrow night...he's coming along to his first stamping class. We'll have him addicted in no time ;-)

Edited to add: That's faux stitching there, done with the Paper Piercing Mat and White Gel pen...looks real doesn't it?!

  5. Beautiful, Marelle! And go easy on the little guy... don't know how much allowance he earns yet so his order might be kinda small. :)
