Now this challenge couldn't have been better timed for me. I told you all that when Mum went home I let her help herself to some cards from my stash - well she totally cleared me out of sympathy, wedding and baby cards. I'm still working on replacing them. And not only that, I need a card to welcome a new little lady to our extended family - well not directly related to me, but to my Aunt's new great niece.
Grace Madeline was born on Saturday 3rd of September - she's absolutely beautiful. And this card is for Emma and Tony - her very proud parents. I hope to see them all later this year.
I couldn't decide what to use for this card - I've several sweet teddy images, but going through my stamp catalogue I came across this giraffe and thought it was really cute and a bit different. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position it centrally on the card. Next I added this circle of hearts which seems just perfect for a baby card. I inked up the both stamps with Versamark, added colour and stamped, and heat embossed with clear powder. I coloured the image with Promarkers. Finally I added a simple sentiment. The card will be in the post today!
Stamps: The Wild Ones (Giraffe) - Free with Quick Cards Made Easy; Waltzingmouse - L'il Buddies
Inks: Versamark; Stampin' Up! - Early Espresso
Promarkers: Cerise, Baby Pink, Pale Pink, Leaf Green, Tan, Cinnamon, Terracotta, Warm Grey 1
Accessories: Card from stash

Very cute, Deb! I'm working on my OLW card tonight. I'd forgotten how challenging I find one-layer! You've done a great job of it.
This is delightful - nice to see something a bit different & I love giraffes.
