My first baby card in ages

I decided to make a baby girl card today, my stepmother Brenda's Son Jason and his Girlfriend are having a little girl in a few weeks time so I thought I should get something made up ready to put in the post when the little bundle of joy arrives.

The card is 14.5cm x 14.5cm I have used 2 backing papers from the Forever Friends 6 x 6 Hugs and Cuddles pad, one with a pink gingham pattern and the other just has buttons on it. I have also added some pink card that I have embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The image is a Pink Gem Designs rubber stamp which I have coloured with Promarkers. The ribbon is from my craft stash and the buttons are from my local 99p store. I have computer generated the circle sentiment and backed this onto a scalloped circle cut with my nesties. I added gems on the ribbon which are made by Anita's. I have faux stitches around the image.

I am able to enter this card into 6 different challenges this week
1/ Sketch Saturday http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ - I followed their sketch
2/ Cupcake Crafting http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/ with their theme Buttons and stitching

  3. This is great Julie, I have made a couple of circle sentiments on the computer and wondered how you did yours! My way is quite fiddly using Word Art. Yours looks brilliant!

  19. Hi Julie

    Just saw your baby card for Jason & Sally's baby due any day now. It's sooooooo cute, they will both be really pleased with it and very touched that you have gone to so much effort to them.

    From me, thanks for remembering Jason at this special time.

    love
