The paper is Kaiser double-sided. I wanted to add a touch of whimsy with the safety pin to represent a diaper pin. They boy card is obviously boy, but I decided the reddish-colored one could go either way so it just says BABY instead of "boy" or "girl."
I need to color more with those Copics to stay in practice! :-)
I decided to stamp the girl's image in gray Momento (London Fog) to make it softer and a bit more subtle. The twine is from my friend Diana at Latina Crafter.
Not sure what the paper is on the boy's card. I had one or two sheets of it in my stash. The yellow is Scrapper's Floss.
Those scalloped ovals are frames around the Onesies. I thought that gave it a more interesting look than just layering ovals.
On the boy card I colored the duck with a glitter pen, and on the girl card I used Stickles on the flower.
Ppaer for the boy card is TAC's Toodle Loo, and the girl card uses TAC's Catelynne.
Now that I look back at the original card, I see that I used WAAAAY toooooo much of the tangerine color! I wasn't thrilled with the effect, and now I know why! I guess sometimes less is best, and this would have been one of those times. sigh...
I really like her patterned paper and color combo sooo much better! This was the closest patterned paper I had, though. Since it didn't have any yellow, I just couldn't make myself think I should add yellow cardstock. The tiny little pearls are from Amuse Studio and are a GREAT size!
These stamps are from the Verve set New Mercies--same set as this post. The card I CASEd is this one on the Verve website.
Mine is much plainer, but that's okay. I tend to stay on the simpler side of things. This close-up doesn't look like the ribbon matches the ink, but I promise it does in real life! :-) Embossing folder is Tim Holtz.
The pocket is made from TAC's Natalee Accordian Album kit, and the Scripture stamps are all from Verve. I'm loving those!
I kept the inside blank so I could write her a little note.
