Oh, Baby for Paper Players #138



Hello there! This week at the Paper Players, I am the challenge hostess. Eeek! I created a sketch that I really hope will inspire you to play along with us. I should post my hand-drawn draft of the sketch when I came up with the idea for it. You would crack up at how messy it was. I can't draw a straight line without a ruler. It is pretty scary! 
I just got word that a good friend of mine is expecting a "wee one", so I wanted to make her a congrats card. I just received a huge box of stampin' goodies, including the Pop-Up Posies Embellishment Kit from the Spring Catalog. It's a cool kit with flowers, brads and other embellishments to dress up your projects. I have seen SO many fun ideas with this kit. The colors of the cut flowers were the inspiration for my project.

So, I know on the sketch I created I had a sentiment added to the banner...BUT the sentiment is part of the main image. I decided to layer some ribbon banners for some added texture. I went a little "sparkly-happy" but if you know me, that is truly NOT a shocker. Ha! I love the bling-bling! All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of this post.
I would really love it if you would join us this week at the Paper Players and give my sketch a try. I am always SO inspired by the projects that are shared week after week on our site. Please stop by and visit the rest of the Design Team, too. They really created some amazing projects this week. Our challenge closes on Friday March 29th at Noon (PDT).

    Ann Marie this cared is adorable. I love the fact that it can be used for boy/girl as it will work with the pink/blue touch. So clever.
    I really love your sketch too and was hoping to play along this week but I will be working out of state so I will enjoy the entries from my hotel! Hugs

    LOVE this! I saw this stamp and thought "cute" but didn't give it a second thought. But now you are making me rethink this one! Guess I better hurry...
    :)
    I love the texture you added to the flowers and the layered ribbon in the sentiment spot is wonderful!
