Ooooofta! What a day...what a weekend. You know it's bad when you need a vacation from your weekend! Sorry for being so late to post my sneak peek for the new AND BABY MAKES... stamp set from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. Need a baby set? THIS is the one for you. Adorable baby animals and oh-so-sweet little sentiments to go with. You'll love it! This set will be available for ordering on July 20th. BUT, we're also having our first big PAJAMA PARTY tomorrow night in our forum at SPLITCOAST STAMPERS. It's from 8:00pm to 11:00 pm Eastern time and there will be surprises and prizes galore...DON'T MISS OUT!
As for this card, I colored the cute little giraffe family with Copics and popped them up on a Nestabilities Labels 1 die cut. I stamped the background with the Sweet Baby sentiment in Sahara Sand ink and sponged the edges with So Saffron for a subtle base. I also game them a glittery ground to stand on. The D-lightful felt (hmmm....TCP?) and twine flower (oh, button flower dies...wouldn't that be so great if TCP carried those too?) was completely and totally a rip-off of some Amy Rohl genius. (That girl is amazing!) Fun baby-ish patterned papers are in the Ducks In A Row pad from October Afternoon.
Oh so cute. Love this design and the background under the giraffe? To die for.
