Baby boy card

A friend had a wee boy, so I made this card for her. Isn't that wee image just the cutest thing ever? I love it, I can see it appearing in all my baby cards for a while lol. Image: Lili of the Valley coloured with PMs

Paper: K&Co

The wee safety pin and the buttons are stickers from the same range as the paper. So cute, I will be gutted when they are finished!!

wow seems like ages since I last blogged, man this working malarkey really eats into the free time lol I have hardly had any time for crafting lately! Booohooo. Anyway I made some time to make this for my mum today. The large background stamp is a SU one which I have had for ages and hardly ever used, I don't know why cos I love it, its says everything I want to say to mum, she really is my best friend. awwww!! I masked off a heart then stamped the little birdie heart in it. I really wish I was better with colouring and blending cos then I would have filled in the heart aperture with some lovely colours blending into the cream..........

I hope my mum will like it :o)

Less is More - 1 layer and script
