Bunnies, Babies and Buttons!


Finally finished this card today! Its been "in process" on my craft table for over a week now. I made it for my daughter who is expecting her 4th child, due the middle of May. She and hubby have 3 boys already so I am REALLY hoping for a girl this time! They don't like to find out the sex until the baby is born so we don't know that it is a girl....it just HAS to be! I know I'll be scrambling to make a blue card if its NOT a girl!

I followed a sketch for this one:
 from
http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com - #162 Bunnies and Chicks


I also followed the requirements for:
http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com - #167 Flowers and Flourishes
http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com - #161 Tic-Tac-Toe (bunny, pastels, ribbon)
http://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com - April: Anything Goes + handmade bow

I really like how the paper-pieced buggy turned out!
Here is my list of supplies used:
Stamps - Stampabilities "Bunny Buggie" (colored with colored pencils); "It's a Girl" & "Congratulations"  are generic
Inks - Studio G "Pink", Memento "Tuxedo Black", & "Bamboo"
Dies - Spellbinders "Rose Creations", "Standard Circles Lg.", TH Sizzix "Tattered Floral Garland"
Punch - Martha Stewart "Doily Lace"
Card stock - Imaginesce "Baby Powder", Paper Studio "Heavy Wt. White" & pink flourish & green polka dot
Pearls, buttons and ribbon are from my stash

Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate your visits and comments!

Your cards are gorgeous and I will enjoy checking in on your blog now & then. I'm still too tired to try to figure out how to "join" to follow you but I will try soon. My email address is linbill2@charter.net. I'm sending this as Anonymous only because I don't have anything else set up, no Google acct., etc. I'm computer tech challenged. Congrats on the expected arrival!

All of your cards are gorgeous but I especially love the baby card w/the bunnies... The coloring/shading is excellent! When my son was born, my Grandma wanted a girl and her concession to the idea of a boy was to buy a BLUE girl's baby dress...which I later used when Sheri was born. I sure am hoping you get to give your daughter this beautiful PINK card when this baby arrives. It deserves to be framed!

Sheri's Mom, Linda
