Babies Are Sweet Beginnings!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week I'm sharing a Baby Card featuring Sweet Beginnings - S169 from (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). I love this adorable stamp and I also have a few nieces that are pregnant right now. We are all looking forward to seeing pictures of the new little one's when they are born. Once Covid19 is over, hopefully, we will be able to travel again and see them in person.

To create the card this week, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I fussy cut around the image and then coloured it in with Copic Markers.

I created a card base made from Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. paper, folded to 5.5" x 4.25". For the background paper, I cut a piece the same size as the base from Echo Park - Hello Baby - It's a Girl. I attached this directly to the base with double-sided tape and then inked around the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Spun Sugar. I popped up the coloured image using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. Lastly, I added some little embellishments from Forever In Time - Painted Wood Buttons - Patchwork Elephants to finish off the card.
