My daughter's lifelong friend just revealed that she is expecting a baby boy, so I had an excuse to make a baby card today. I noticed that The Paper Players CAS Challenge PP641 is to use one (only) of something. I thought that someone could be knitting some baby booties or a sweater for the upcoming newborn and this lamb from Jane's Doodles is so cute that I went with it for my card.
I quickly crocheted a little "knitted" piece/made a yarn ball to cover the stamped ones. I don't know why it looks so knotted up and thick because it doesn't in person. It was a simple little detail I wanted to add. I figured that the little bit of texture on the front of the card would not matter if it is put in the box with the baby gift, without an envelope.
Products I used:
Jane's Doodles: Seamus stamp set
Baker's twine
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Pink and Main: Enamel dots
Distress inks for ink blending
Chalk for rosy cheeks
Prismacolor pencil for ear and hoof color
A fun make and I know that the mommy-to-be (and the grandmother-to-be who is my friend) will enjoy it.
See you back here soon!
