Today’s challenge on Splitcoast is the Limited Supply Challenge, LSC108 – Bundle of Joy. The object today is to create a neutral baby card for either a boy or a girl. So that eliminates pinks and blues! Not having any need for baby stamps until recently, I don’t have many. You can bet that I will be changing that soon though. It seems that more and more of my friends are becoming grandparents and there are more showers to attend. The little buggy stamp I used today probably came from a bin at Big Lots, since I probably wouldn’t have bought it any other time unless I found it dirt cheap!
I stamped the buggy image in Black Stazon and then water colored it with reinkers. It is layered on Mellow Moss and the edges are trimmed using my Fiskars scalloped edged scissors. A Signo white gel pen was used to make the little dots around the edges. The background panel is a piece of Whisper White cardstock run through the Cuttlebug using the D’vine Swirl embossing folder and then layered on Mellow Moss paper. To get the sentiment, using the large oval punch, I punched through both layers of paper and stamped the sentiment in Mellow Moss directly on the white card base. I had this cute little ribbon in my stash, and don’t even know where I got it now, but probably Big Lots! I love to junk store and Big Lots is one of my favorites!
