Had a baby card to make, a boy for a change - I've just looked back in my blog history and this is only the 4th baby boy card I've made in four years. Here's what I made:
I used the sketch on this week's Sketch Saturday and I'm also entering this on the following challenges: Stampin' for the Weekend (photo inspiration and blue+cream+brown colour combo), Totally Papercrafts (ribbon/bow), Kaboodle Doodles and Creative Card Crew ("Masculine") and Creative Inspirations (also Cream/Blue/Brown).
I'm loving all those buttons - I keep meaning to use them more often and I certainly piled a fair few on this card!! I used this sweet Lili of the Valley image again. It's so versatile, does perfectly for boy or girl baby cards. Here's a close-up - the light had changed completely so the colours are totally different to the first post.
Recipe:
Papers: October Afternoon "Weathervane" + BG "Kraft Basics"
Image: Lili of the Valley "Baby Blanket"
Colouring Medium: Distress Inks
Other: BG "Granola" + "Bittersweet" buttons, ribbon from stash, needle + thread
Thanks for looking - now to do my son's 10th birthday card!

Adorable Julie - hope you are enjoying mid term.
Hi Julie, just took a few minutes to catch up on all your creativity, such beatiful cards, I love them all, and my favourite is the birthday/valentine one, just gorgeous. Hope you are enjoying the last of the mid term. Waterford IT have mid term next week, but I have an assignment due early March, all done by end of April though. Miss the blogs and linking in. Big hugs, Margie.
Great card, love the buttons :)
Beautiful card Julie - I'm sure the Mummy will be delighted when she receives it! Great colour combinations and love the buttons but then again I would as it's very rare I don't put buttons on a layout.
