Not often, but occasionally, card challenges align with real life events. That was certainly true this week. The Inspired By: Hello Baby Flowers could be interpreted two ways---a baby card or baby flowers. I have both!
We have a new grand-niece born in Oregon. Her grandparents flew out there this week, and I sent this mini-slimline card with them.
It gave me a chance to used several never-used products: The Greetery's "Bold Alphabet," The Ton's "Ditsy Bits," and Trinity Stamps "Slimline Mini Envelope Builder" (the scalloped and stitched rectangle.) I have my friend, Michelle, to thank for the tiny flower stamps and the die cut set, both of which she shared when we stamped together. I tried them at her house, and later ordered them for myself.
I love the detail on the alphabet and tucking the tiny flowers in among the letters of the baby's name seemed a perfect embellishment, along with three tiny pale pink pearls.
The sentiment from Papertrey Ink's "Boutique Borders: Baby" set was stamped and then die cut with one of The Greetery's "Pretext Banner" dies--quickly becoming a favorite!
Sadly, given the distance between us and the new baby, it's likely going to be awhile before we get to hold the new bundle of joy. We've seen lots of photos, though, and she was a cutie from Day 1!
Given all the new products used on this card, I'll be adding it to the very large gallery at NBUS.
