Well, for those of you who check out my sister Val's blog you will know that we have a new addition to the family in the form of baby Charlie who arrived safely on Saturday weighing 7lbs 10oz. Mother, baby and father all okay!!!! lol
I have made two new baby cards, one of which is here - I will post the other later in the week.
I have used the gorgeous digi stamp from Sugar Nellie called Bambino. I coloured him in using Flexmarkers and then got my sewing machine out to stitch the image onto backing card. I then pieced the backing card together (from my stash) and stitched that as well. Then this was put onto an 8x8 card blank. The sentiments were computer generated on CraftArtist; the top one punched out and matted using Stampin Up punches and the bottom one used Spellbinders Ornate Frames - the cut outs from the sides I added to the top and bottom of the frame for a different look. I've added gems, flowers, hat pins and ribbon and the last touch were two baby feet punched out using a Dovecraft punch.
Thanks for dropping by.
I saw the news on Val's blog - this card is lovely and I like the use of the stitching to fix the layers. Nice to have personal details on the tags too.
