Kitchen Sink Monday: Welcome Little Girl

Here’s my card for this week’s Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday. I loved the clean, simple design of the pair of baby cards that Angela shared last week, so I took my inspiration from her to create this card.

I stamped the baby shoes in shades of pink ink on a pale pink panel. The first layer is stamped in pigment ink. Like I’ve said before, I find that using a pigment ink for the first layer of these multi-step images helps me to get an even base to start stamping with. I added the “welcome little one” sentiment to the upper right corner of the panel.

I layered the pale pink panel on a deeper rose panel. The layered panels are attached to a white card base that’s edged with an eyelet border punch. This adds an elegant, girlie touch to the card—the perfect complement to the vintage feel of the image. I found some variegated pink ribbon in my collection and wrapped that around the top of the card to complete it.
