Oh Baby!...

Hi All!  It's a rainy night here in Altadena, so it's the prefect time to get to work at my crafts table and craft up some new cards.  I created this card for Impression Obsession's Blue Challenge, but I think it might also work real well for a Flourishes Challenge as well.  I just fell in love with the adorable little moon in Montagerie's Baby clear stamp set.  I have been so anxious to ink it up and create some adorable baby cards and these challenges gave me the perfect excuse to begin, so here's my first...
I stamped my little moon onto Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black and then embossed it with Stampendous Midnight Black embossing powder.  I pulled out my Copics to color him up and used my Cricut die cutting machine and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to cut out the ovals for my main image, mats and sentiment tag.  I stamped my background with Impression Obsession's Dots Cover-a-Card stamp and used a bit of Basic Grey's Kioshi DP for the bottom panel.  I used my Martha Stewart Traditional Scallops Border punch, some ribbon from Michaels, a cute little button from Basic Grey and bit of hemp cord to tie up a fun little bow.  And lastly, I popped my matted main image on to my card using dimensionals to finish it all up! 8-)

Have a great night, hope you all stay warm and dry & thanks for dropping by!
