I had an occasion to make a welcome baby card for a baby boy. I searched the stamp collection and decided I hadn't used this cute image of a little frog from Lawn Fawn's Hello Baby stamp set. I stamped onto some Bristol cardstock and used my Distress Inks for all color - Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters, Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean. Some of the images (lily pad, cattails) were stamped and then using a watercolor brush and a very little bit of water to smooth out the stamping and the frog and crown were colored with the Distress Ink using the brush and water. I used an ink blending tool and the Salty Ocean/Peacock Feathers to create our pond.
The patterned paper is Spellbinders and creates a lovely starry background, perfect for our card.
On the inside, a simple sentiment using my Papertrey Ink Congratulations stamp set. I'm so in love this this stamp set, I may make another one since the pieces are still out on the craft table. I might be back soon with another card.
