Precious Baby!



I have the hardest time making baby cards because I can never find images that I love enough to own.  But not this time....how stinkin' cute is this?!?!  The minute I saw Sweet 'n Sassy, Precious Baby I was so excited,  I HAD to have it!! I LOVE the adorable baby clothes strung on the laundry line. 

My girlfriend Jennifer is having her second baby in a few weeks so I decided to use the image along with this weeks sketch at The Sweet Stop Sketches so I'll be ready!!


I've stamped my sentiment on a cloud die from My Favorite Things (love this thing!!) and popped it up using foam dots.  Since this sketch is also with a spin (dry embossing), I embossed the DP with Swiss Dots and the cloud die with Swirls. I'm not a huge fan of the job I did on the grass but decided to it wasn't "too bad".  Need more practice doing that for sure.  LOL

Stamp Something = Anything Goes
Do You Stack Up? = #2 Distress it

    Oh, Wendy, this is absolutely beautiful! I love that image and of course you've colored it beautifully. I really like the sentiment on the cloud ... may have to "borrow" that idea lol. And I think your grass looks great.

    I know what you mean about baby cards, but this is a brilliant image. Love the ladybird/bug on the line & the way you've given her a little grey head. Tje ribbon works so well with the gems & the fruit on the trees.
