It seems that June/July is certainly the time for making baby cards. Last year this time I had five cards I had to make. This year five baby cards are needed again. I'm excited for the many new little ones in my life!
I'm also excited that I finally had time to make a card and try several new ideas. I have been researching using colored pencils for some time. I tried Copic markers and did not have the patience or skill to master it. I admire my creative friend, Melanie, who always makes such beautiful Copic cards! However, I am just not graced with the patience to figure it out. I looked into colored pencils, which is much more economical as a bonus. I have $30 into colored pencils and blenders. I used cheap Walmart paint thinner to blend, which my husband had in the garage and couldn't remember when he used it last. (So, that was FREE! lol) Check out my board on Pinterest called 'Coloring' for loads of tutorials on Stampin' Up markers and colored pencils.
I used two retired Stampin' Up! Stamps plus the current "Itty Bitty Banner' stamp and framelits. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed creating it!
My Stampin' Up! order came in a day early, so I'm confident the other four cards will wait a day while I explore my new goodies from Stampin' Up! :)
Have a great day!
