It's A Boy!

I'm back, again, with a new Stella Says Sketch challenge for you!  I know you MUST be familiar with Stella! But, did you know she has her very own challenge, every other Sunday, at Catch The Bug?!  Well, if you didn't, you do now!  Come over and check out the newest Stella Says Sketch challenge at Catch The Bug and play along! You could be the winner of a digi  prize package from Bugaboo Stamps!

Today, I have for you, a baby announcement.  This is absolutely one of a set of 12.  I made this set of  announcements for a family friend and his girlfriend, who are expecting their first child. I figured it would be a nice gift to give them, with whatever else I decide to buy them.

I've used the image Giraffe Heart 2, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The baby themed papers are from Hobby Lobby.  I used green hand dyed dew drop pearls from my stash,  for my embellishments. The sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval circles.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Giraffes Go Non-Traditional

We have a new challenge for you, this week at Shelly's Images. Our theme is "Seeing Spots." Come over and get spotty with us, for your chance to win!

Ohhhh and we definitely have the perfect challenge for our featured image today! Today, we are featuring Giraffe. Remember, this featured image is available, today only, for a special price, in the store, Here.

My project uses the awesome image, Giraffe from Shelly's Images. I went with non traditional colors. After all, who says giraffes have to be traditional?! I've used two different orange spotted papers, paired with black and white stripes. (I think he dreamed he was a zebra for a moment!) The image is colored with Promarkers and attached with foam mounting tape, for dimension. I punched sprigs of black leaves with a punch by Martha Stewart and nestled them under flowers layered in orange and black. The dew drops at the top and flower center are teardrop shaped dewdrop pearls. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy.
