My favourite friend is expecting her first baby in only a couple of weeks… I am so excited to meet her little bean, and I have a little packet of goodies to bring to the new little arrival… so I wanted to make a card to be ready for when we get that phone call!
I found this beautiful photo from A Creative Mint, and chose to use it as inspiration for my colour scheme: Yellow, White and a hit of green.
I used this week’s sketch from Card Patterns to create this card, and put my favorite sentiment on the front – I know my friend will adore this too!
I hope to make a gift tag to match, and if I manage it before baby makes her (I am convinced it’s a girl!) appearance, I will be sure to share with you!
Paper: Papertrey Ink Lemon Tart, White; Cream from stash,
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Inside Out: Baby
Ink: VersaFine Onyx
Other: Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 4 and Limitless Layers Dies, Celebrate-It Ribbon, Vintage buttons from stash, Copic Marker
