My daughter Jessica's baby shower was Saturday and this is the card I made for her. This Mo Manning image melted my heart because it's like a little glimpse into the future of my grandson Tyton and his little brother, who should be here in a few short weeks.
I colored the image with my Copic markers and used Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges of all the papers. Just a bit though, because I wanted the card to stay bright. I chose this color scheme to match the snuggy that I made for my little sweetheart (see picture below). I used the Stitched Wave punch by EK Success to mimic the pattern in it too. That wavy yellow rick-rack was hand dyed by me and I have a ton of it, so it's nice to find a project to use it on. I completely forgot to pull the star tag out of the card and get a pic of it. Sorry about that!
