It's a Boy

My friend, Anne is pregnant with her 6th and is due in a couple of weeks (hi, Anne!). Her shower was this week and unfortunately I was unable to go. I am getting her gift ready to take over and here is the card I created. I used the sketch from CPS this week (#122) as my inspiration.

I decided to piece several different types of paper (2 patterns of background and texture paper, 3 colors of textured cardstock) and to cut and piece them together to look kind of a like a baby quilt. I used my waterbrush and chocolate brown ink to go around the edges of each piece to create a little depth and then drew tiny stitches around everything with the smallest My Legacy Writer (.01). I stamped the sentiment in twilight ink and the little doo dads in chocolate ink and then again used the chocolate ink and my waterbrush to add a little shading to the sentiment. I used 3D foam tape to pop up the pewter foundry bookplate and sentiment.
