But, yes, it IS another Thursday, and that means another challenge from the Stampin' B's DT. This week our challenge hostess is Brenda, and she is challenging us to make a baby or toddler card. A fun challenge!! Here's what I came up with:
This is one of two Lili of the Valley stamps that I won way, waaaaaaaaaaaay back during the summer. I've been itching to get some ink on it for quite a while now, and this challenge was the perfect excuse to just do it. I stamped it on some of my best watercolor paper and had a mahvelous time watercolor painting with re-inkers. (It's been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long since I last watercolored, so this was quite a treat.) It was fun dressing up the fur trim with some white Fun Flock and finishing this off simply with some Caribbean baker's twine from The Twinery.This card will go to our little 15-month-old neighbor girl and her parents for Christmas.
