welcome little one


I have not had a chance to stamp once this week!  Luckily, I have a bunch of cards to share still that I made earlier in the month.  I created this card when I had the Background Basics: Stars set out.  I think it makes a perfect baby boy card when paired with Bitty Baby Blessings.

I stamped the star pattern on spring rain cardstock using dark chocolate ink.  Then, I added the pure poppy to the centers using one of the small dot stamps from Text Boxed.  I added a pure poppy layer and a white layer and then, pierced the lines of holes.  Everything is pretty straight forward.

Well, I am off to stamp for a bit this morning and then, we are going to visit my mom this afternoon.  Hope you have a great weekend!

Oh Get out of here!! Everytime you do a card with that background stars set I kick myself again for not getting it. At the last release....I did it again, didnt order. What was I thinking. This card is absolutely fantabulous!!!!
