Baby Card

I made this for a friend's baby's first birthday.

It's a simple tent folded card A4...the card was mat and layered and I used a Happy Birthday embossing folder for the background.

I inked it over lightly with ink from the Hobbycraft range. I used pink Hunkydory checked paper in the matting.

I used Spellbinders dies for the border and the sentiment holder ... added some pretty pink ribbon and lightly glittered the embossed part of the card. I also added a few pink and white pearls to the card.

I only started card-making last November and my first attempt were dire, since finding this website I am hooked and addicted and there is no stopping me now ... thank you Christina x

Christina says ...

What a very pretty card and I love the Pink ...it is my favorite colour especailly for baby cards. The result is always so delicate and of course Gingham is the most popular choice for them.

As a new card maker I am happy to hear that you are finding lots of things to help you in the process ... as you are the people that this website was aimed at when I started it three years ago.

So thank you for sending in your lovely design and I hope you will send in many more .... and please pop over to the new Blog too and join the growing band of followers there...

Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls is the name and I look forward to seeing you there.
