Baby Card, Initial!

I wanted to make a special card for some friends who had just celebrated the arrival of their new baby. I wanted it to showcase the first gift that they give their baby, his name. I honored that by using his initial on the face of the card.



I used soft spring colors for this baby themed card. The card base is card stock in sweet leaf green. The yellow patterned B&T Duo paper is from the Pemberley paper pack from close to my heart- it is a beautiful delicate pattern and sweet shade of yellow. The wave accents were created with sky blue ink and the border stamp from the SuperHero workshop on the go kit. The letter "E" was cut on my cricut with Art Philosophy cartridge in daisy white. I love the crispness of the white against the other three colors.


I took inspiration from the sketch challenge at Retro sketches. The sketch was for a horizontal card, but I flipped it into a vertical orientation.
