NEW BABY CARD


A nephew and his wife recently had their first baby.....a baby boy.  They shared a picture of him in his first outfit and the outfit had an owl pattern all over it.  Some time ago I had purchased a template to make this little overall but had never used it so that picture I saw inspired me to get it out.  (There is a second piece that can be used with it so it looks more like a little girl's outfit.

The paper is a double sided dp, so I made a cut a small white piece to put inside for a small greeting.  The card is smaller than an A2 size so it doesn't leave a lot of room for a message, but the pattern seemed so appropriate to use for them.

Lasting Impressions buttons were a little too light so I colored them with a Copic marker to match the blue in the paper a little better.

So what do you think?  Thanks for stopping by!
