A Boy, a girl ?????

More and more couples choose not to know the gender of the baby until the baby is born.  Therefore I needed to design a card for that gender unknown "fetus"

In this instance I used Soft Sea Foam card stock as my card base, layering it with Whisper White and then a layer stamped with the Buffalo Check stamp.  I use the stamparatus to stamp with the Buffalo check as it seems to need several layers of ink to get the desired color. After the ink was dry I again drew a Petal Pink line between the Soft Sea Foam squares.

After adhering the patterned layer to the Whisper White, some 5/8" glitter Pear Pizzazz ribbon and bow was attached to the lower card front.  These layers were then attached to the Soft Sea Foam card base.

For the background of the baby, I again used the stamparatus to stamp the Bokeh dots background stamp - the one with the stars in it.  This stamp also needs multiple layers of Soft Sea Foam ink to get the right color.  The resultant background was embossed with clear embossing powder, cut out with the trimmer, and then matted with Whisper White before being added to the plaid background.

The baby was coloured with water color pencils and a blender pen and wrapper in a green polka dot blanket,  Dimensionals were used to add the baby to the Bokeh background.

The sentiment is from "Baby Bear"
