It's a Shower - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #126

The construction crew just arrived to fill in the excavation hole that was made to fix the crack in my foundation wall.  It's as hot as blazes out there!  I don't know how they can work in that hole.  To complicate matters a family of wasps has taken up domicile in the hole and are swarming around the crew's head.  I'll be glad to get the hole filled.

I thought I would do the challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday (here) today. It's another baby shower card for my craft sale this weekend.

 

The base card is made with Pistachio Green card stock, layered with Whisper White and then Nursery Nest DSP (retired).

The image is stamped with Black Stazon and coloured with ink and an Aqua Painter.  I die cut it using the circles framelets and matted it with a Pistachio green scallop circle die cut using the scallop circles die #2.  Holes were pierced in each of the scallops.  The image was attached to the scallop circle using dimensionals.

The embellishment was made using a 1 3/4" scallop circle punch and a 7/8" scallop circle punch - the larger flower Indigo blue and the smaller flower pink pirouette. A vintage button was placed in the center of the flower.

Three leaves were hand cut.

Because I like bling, some dazzling details was placed along the outline of the stork and on the center of the flower.

Bringing Baby Home - Unscripted Sketches #137

Where do babies come from?  How did the baby come here mommy?
Did your children ask those questions when you brought your new baby home?
More and more we give explanations other than "the stork brought your sister home", but that explanation is still out there.
This card depicts a stork bringing a baby girl home and uses the sketch challenge from Unscripted Sketches http://unscriptedsketches.com/2011/12/unscripted-sketches-137/  I chose not to do the piggy back challenge which was to use No Flowers on the card.  What is a baby card without flowers? Besides it looks like the baby is waving and throwing flowers while comfortably ensconsced between the wings of the stork.
