Happy Anniversary

Another order fulfillment card. I really like the way this turned out and so did the customer. The balloon is from a Verve set and cut with Spellbinder's Label 10. The dp is from a 6x6 pad of OffBeat from Basic Grey. Background embossing and felt clouds used PTI products. On my monitor, the dark color looks black but it's dark brown, and what looks white is Neenah Natural White (cream). 

Thank you for stopping by today. Hope it's been a good one for ya.

Hugs,
Colleen

Welcome Madelyn Rose

My niece, Ashley, and her husband are expecting their first child in November. There was a baby shower Sunday, and I made this card to go with the gift. Inspired by my girlfriend, Carol, I added a "pinafore" type layer from dotted vellum and secured it with ribbon. The dress began from the Sizzix Baby Onsie, but I only used it as a pattern for the top of the dress and then used a Spellbinders Mega Scalloped Oval nestie to create the hemline. No pattern for the pinafore . . . just a series of trials and errors, but I'm pleased with the result and, more importantly, so was Ashley. The little rose bud on the bow was added for her middle name, and just polished off the card . . . imho.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Colleen
