Deer Niece

Well, I didn't get today's card made yesterday afternoon, but I *did* get my personal stamp catalog up-to-date, which I hadn't done since probably before Christmas.  I have two big binders where I stamp the images from each stamp set on a sheet of paper and they're organized by theme; luckily I started it before I got too many stamps to make that fun.  I do use it, though.  And I have eleventy-million flower stamps.

Anyway, on to today's card!  Last week I was a little bummed that What Will You Stamp? circled back around to a stamp set I actually own, and I was out of town so I couldn't participate.  Happily for me, they chose another one I own this week:

Even better, I kinda wanted to make a baby card this week so that's perfect!  And here's my new creation:

As it happens, my niece is making her world debut tomorrow afternoon.  I think I'll send her the little bunny card I made a while back and hold onto this one; I think this one would work for a boy or a girl just fine.  This fits in with the latest SUO Challenge to make a card for any kind of shower, so next time I'm invited to a baby shower I'll be all set.  Oh, you totally can't see it in the picture, but I painted over the deer's bow with some Wink of Stella because this card just needed a bit of shine.

I used last Thursday's Create with Connie and Mary sketch:

I left off the skinniest layer behind the main image panel; I thought and thought about what to use for it but it just seemed like that would have been one thing too many for my card so I left it.

My colors today are courtesy of Fab Friday:

Good spring colors, good baby colors and like I said, I think they work for either gender.  Woohoo!

Okay, y'all.  I'm going to rock-paper-scissors with the dogs to see if I go to the gym or take them for a walk first.  Cheers!
