Today I have a card that I have made for my new baby nephew who was supposed to be here a couple of days ago, but it seems he takes after my brother and won't be rushed lol. His poor mum has had enough now and she is feeling pretty rough and just wants it over with so hopefully he will join us soon. I do think it would be funny if he turns up on mothers day.
To make this card I have used two papers from Websters Pages and then distressed the edges with a craft knife. My image is from the Crafters Companion Peter Rabbit stamp set (which I won from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine) and I have coloured him in using my new Derwent pencils (I think I still need more practise with them). I have then decorated my card using lacey embroidered ribbon, two different types of gems and a vintage button.
I would like to enter this in to the following challenges,
