Baby Boy

Good morning everyone!
 It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!  
This week it's Marita's turn to host the challenge and she chose the wonderful theme...
Babies!  
Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps and my card features their beautiful A Mother's Love image.  I cut the image out with a Classic Rectangle nestie, added a touch of shading/coloring with a couple of Copics and then I sponged around the edges with Broken China Distress ink.  I roughed up all the edges including the DCWV dp and then added more Broken China distress ink.  The Sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels... the hand dyed seam binding, feather and pearls are all from my stash.

Hazel is hosting the challenge and she would like us to create birthday cards.  Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps and I chose this super fun Birthday Girl image to work with!  She's colored with Copics and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  The papers are from my new MME paper pad, the Reunion collection.  I love this paper pad because of all the oranges and teals... just a few of my favorite colors!  The flowers were cut with a MFT die, I paper pierced around the oval and to finish it up I added some teal colored gems.
