Baby Boy





Back again! This time to show you a card I made for friends who have just had a beautiful baby boy called Zac.
I used my own digi again ( Sailing boat from A Passion for Stamps ) and got a little bit carried away adding bits and bobs. I love gingham for baby cards and because I wanted to add so many little "things" I kept the colour scheme simple. It's not that often I'm really happy with a finished card but I loved this one in real life!
I used Blue Pearl and Powder blu Promarkers for the boat and water and paper pieced the sails to match the background paper.
I wanted to personalise it so I used Monde de Blonde Sizzix alphabet dies in my Cuttlebug and added the letters to some hand cut "bunting".
It suits some challenges so here they are...

Stampavie.... monochrome
Alphabet .... D is for Doodling
Crazy4Challenges ....Circles
