I don't think kraft card would immediately spring to mind for a new baby card, but with my love of this versatile cardstock, I thought I'd see what I could come up with and I think I pulled it off!
My wonderful sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy this month. It's the first baby of the family and I'm taking my new auntie role very seriously with lots of kisses and cuddles! Baby Mark has slipped right into my heart like I never thought a baby could, I just adore him!
So, I pondered on which baby stamp to use on my card and as soon as the baby moon sprang into my mind I knew I wanted to re-create the star trails that I stamped on my most recent challenge card.
Unfortunately it was very gloomy while taking the pics so you can't see very well, but I used my yellow sakura pen again on the stars for some lovely shimmer.
I coloured with chalks and added some diamond glitter glue to the moon.
The blue paper has tiny white dots all over it, I thought it would give it a soft quilt-like feel so I drew stitches along the border and along the edges of the card.
I couldn't resist re-creating the star embellishment too.
The alphabet sets are always fantastic for creating a personal message. I always do a practise run on some scrap paper first so that I know how much space each word will take up - that way I can ensure the greeting will be evenly balanced.
I hope you like!!
