Grown from the Heart

A friend of mine adopted her 2nd child. He is an 18th month old little boy and as cute as he can be! What a blessing! I am so happy for them! The shower was this past Saturday and below is the card I made for them.

The stamp set I used is from the SU Occasions Mini catalog 2008. It is an adorable stamp set to have for baby cards, twin cards, or adoption cards. Visit my SU website to view the catalog.


Below is my sketch for this card. I encourage you to use this sketch and make a card!

Card Recipe: (everything is SU)

Stamps: By ones and by twos,
I also used a little heart stamp from an old valetine's day stamp set
Inks: Black, brocade blue, celery, and saffron yellow
Paper: Saffron, celery, brocade, and retired SU designer series paper called "Sarah"
Other: Blue Bayou Ribbon, retired SU silver diamond brads, brocade blue buttons, Ticket corner punch, oval coluzzle.
Technique: stamping on designer paper

Card thoughts:

I sponged saffron ink around the oval. I used Blue Bayou colored ribbon because I didn't have brocade blue ribbon....but it worked because the blue bayou color has a green tone and so it pulled the blues and the greens from my paper and cardstock. I stamped the onsies twice, once on designer paper and then I cut out the onsie and then I stamped it again on the saffron oval. I mounted the cut out onsies onto the oval with dimensionals. As always I had to challenge myself to use hardware, but I think the diamond brads pulled the diamonds out of the designer paper on the onsie.
