Hi everyone! I made this card for yesterday's sketch challenge, SC223 , over at Splitcoaststampers. I don't do the challenges nearly as much as I used to, and I have decided to try and make more time for them. They are what really got me stamping on a daily basis and I seem to have strayed, as most people do, from participating! Anyhow....I needed another baby card because friends of ours just found out they are having a boy in August (their second) and I wanted to make them a little something to congratulate them!
I used my new favorite baby set from Verve called Practically Perfect. I stamped the bunny in Memento Black ink on PTI White and colored him in with Copic Markers. The belly was paper pieced with DP from the Nana's Nursery Baby Boy line by Die Cuts With a View. His bow tie was stamped and second time and popped up on a dimensional. I added some stitching with my Janome Sew Mini. The ribbon is from Papertrey and is Plum Pudding Satin. I'm not much of a purple person, but I LOVE purple and green together and I think the Plum Pudding color from PTI is beautiful!
You can see from this picture that I also finished off the inside which is really somehting I would like to do more often. The sentiment is from the same Verve set and was cut out with the Sizzix Lots of Tags die from Stampin' Up!
Well that's it for today! I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday!!
