Baby in Blue

Last week, I made a girly pink baby card to share on the SugarPea Designs blog.  I thought I'd give equal time to boys, so I made a baby boy card for this week!

The layout is based on the current sketch at RetroSketches.  It features a bunch of layers and was great for using up a bunch of scraps!  I used the word "baby" from the SugarCuts Baby Diaper Pin die set as my focal image.  The word was die cut several times from blue gray cardstock.  I layered the pieces, then adhered the stacked piece to a white circle.  The "boy" sentiment from the Welcome Baby set was stamped just beneath the die cut word in gray pigment ink. 

Once the sentiment panel was complete, I mixed and matched several different papers behind it.  I finally settled on a mix of solid, metallic and patterned.  I arranged those over a blue gray circle cut with one of the SugarCuts Zig Zag Stitched Circles dies. The layered focal image was adhered to a piece of dotted patterned paper.  I added a tiny aqua circle with a safety pin die cut and a pair of long, narrow banner strips to the panel to finish the design.
