New Mom

New Mom - It is time for a new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity. Our challenge this week is Marvelous Mums and we are sponsored by Crafts 4 Eternity.

I made this card for my DIL, who is expecting her first child. We are thrilled and were very happy to hear that it is a girl. Kaylee will be here in July and we are so excited. We have 5 grandsons, but no granddaughters. Finally, a princess!!!

My DP's are MME, Lost and Found, Market Street. I love the pinks and blue/greens. Such soft colors. All papers and image was inked with Tea Dye distress ink.

My image is Saturated Canary's New Baby, This new mom looks so tired. As, we all know, that is how new mothers always feel.

I colored Amanda and Kaylee with Copics. Then I added some Stickles to the hair tie  earring, eye shadow, belt and the pom poms on the baby's blanket.

My embellishment is Recollections. It is one that I have been hoarding. Only Kaylee could coax it out of my stash.

Tweet, Tweet - Mother's Day already, well actually they celebrate Mother's day early than we do in England. I am the lone Yank (LOL) on Craft Your Days Away, so it is time to do Mother's Day cards. Plus it is always good to be early on our card making.

My DP is Basic Gray's, Cappella. Everything was inked with Forest Moss distress inks. I had some brown lace in my stash, so used it.

My flower is a stem that I trimmed off a bush. I recently bought Spellbinders foliage dies and this was my first chance to use it. I love how it embosses. I recently did a pin swap and this was one of the pins that I made for the love theme swap. The bow was tied with a Bow Easy.

We are sponsored by Meljens and she provided us with this sweet little bird and cage. I colored it with Copics and Spica's. I added Stickles to the leaves and birds wing. The image is cut with Stampin Ups Framelits.

Thanks for stopping by and please visit Meljen our sponsor.
