A baby is coming

Five months have passed by so quickly.  There has been so much going on with the kids, study and classes that I have not had time to come on here and update you.  I have had many successful classes over the last few months using a lot of different techniques and stamps. Hopefully, one day soon, I will have time to blog about them. With the new Annual catalogue coming out last month I had a launch class with 2 lovely ladies. One of them was a new lady which was so wonderful.  I love meeting new people and sharing my passion with them.

This blog however is to show you a project I have done recently for a gorgeous girl that I consider a sister. Loryn and I started working together almost 10 years ago at an event decorating company. She and I hit it off straight away and we have seen each other through many life changing events. She has always asked me to make invitations for her life changing events and the one I have just completed was her baby shower invites as she is expecting her first baby.

I had so much fun choosing the colours and with the new Annual Catty coming out there were new baby stamp sets to pick from.  I chose the gorgeous Moon Baby and used some of the new colours as base cardstocks.  I did use a retired DSP, the beautiful A Little Foxy DSP which I absolutely love. It is great to be able to use retired cardstock and DSP on invitations.

I did the printing on my inkjet Canon printer at home and then stamped the baby with the umbrella, toys and stars with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with the Stampin' Write markers. The actual colours I have used for the colouring are:

Lemon Lime Twist - baby and umbrella to match the cardstock used as base
