Hi Friends!  

The colors for this challenge are a perfect combination for the baby shower project I needed to make.  Check out the challenge details HERE.  

Little Andrew's gift card will perfectly fit inside this 4" X 4" card.  I tried and tried again to jazz it up with a stamped background then an embossed background but came back to the most clean and simple way to execute it.  For some reason, CAS always wins out when I make cards for babies.


I recently started using X-Press It Blending Card Paper, Bright White for all Copic coloring.  Since it was recommended on Markerpop.com, I thought it would be a good product and I am very pleased with the ultra-smooth texture and the way it holds color so beautifully.  The ink does bleed through on the back, so you would not choose it for a card base, but it can't be beat for coloring.

All other products are Papertrey Ink unless noted:  
Card Stock:  Harvest Gold, Spring Rain, New Leaf
Stamp Sets:  Hanging Out (sentiment), Tremendous Treats: Birthday (balloons image)
Die:  Pinking Shears Border Die
Misc:  Yellow button, Blue Baker's Twine
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Various Copic Markers

I'm so glad you decided to take a look, let me know what you think!  I love hearing your comments.

Thanks for stopping by,
Suzanne
