Blogger Challenge: Week 115

This week’s blogger challenge is to make baby themed cards. I turned to my DoodleFactory Oh Baby! stamp set from Starving Artistamps for this one.

I stamped the crawling baby Izzy image on a white cardstock panel and colored her with Copic markers. I used some retired SU! designer paper and my new Martha Stewart loop punches to make a blanket of sorts. It took a little trial and error on scraps of paper to figure out how to get the corner and border punches to work together, but once I finally figured it out, I really liked the look I got. I added a solid ribbon strip across the top of the patterned panel, kind of like the satin binding on some baby blankets (brings back memories of my own favorite yellow blanket . . .). The “cutie patootie” sentiment is stamped in coordinating rose ink directly on the striped panel to finish the card.
