She's Expecting...


Yesterday, I went to my local Michael's and bought a few stamps from the dollar bin. I saw this She's Expecting stamp and just thought she was adorable, so of course I bought her and a few others... and no I am not expecting, yet anyways *wink*

This card was for the Split Coast Stampers weekly Sketch Challenge 142 which I found through Kirsten's blog (Confessions of a Naptime Stamper).

I used the More to Adore Level 2 Paper Packet from CTMH. Colors in this packet are Blush, Chocolate, Hollyhock, and Vanilla Creme. I stamped the She's Expecting stamp using black Staz On ink and colored her in using my prismacolor markers. Markers used are: Light Peach, Dark Brown and Pink. It is hard to see in the picture but I used my Crystal Stickles to put a little glitter on her eyeshadow, belt, and the flowers on her sleeve. The final touch I added three Chocolate brads.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. If you get some time to create I highly recommend trying the sketch challenge. It was my first time and I really like my card and really liked playing.

You did an awesome job making this card Michelle. It is amazing that a stamp costing only 1.00 can be so cute and help to make a card that looks as good as a stamp costing 5.00 +. Love the background designer paper too. :)
