As I said yesterday, this past Saturday was the first time I felt well enough to stamp in the last couple of weeks. My daughter Sarah, who also happens to be pregnant, and her hubby were having dinner with friends who just had baby boy number 4! I haven’t been able to go over and see the baby, so Sarah agreed to take my gift & card over for me. On top of that, a friend from church was also having a baby shower that morning, and I hadn’t made a card yet.

Since this was for baby boy #4, I thought I’d have a little fun with the card. I used V-925 “Just Like Dad” WIng It Collectin paper,  V-47 Greens Bazzill cardstock, V-240 Navy cardstock, TT-2209 Prussian Blue Palette ink, B-123 Pewter Hardware, and the retired TAC stamp set “Baby Things”.

Anna Lemmon, one of the nurses at work tie-dyes these adorable Onesies. I requested the “camo” pattern for baby Jacob, and it was the inspiration for my card.

For the baby shower, I knew the mom-to-be is having a girl, so I wanted to do something feminine. And, since I was in a very non-traditional mood, I thought I’d go for simple elegance, instead of cute.

I used TT-199 Lavender Sachet Palette ink for all the stamping. I used  T-2991″Swirlies” on the envelope, and D-437 Assorted Bitty Blossoms, G-703 Audrey Embellishment Jar, T-2722 “Scripty Bet” stamp set, V-43 Violets Bazzill cardstock, and the retired TAC ”Mulberry Meadow” cardstock collection for the card.
