Oh, Whale Baby Boy card

Boy-o-Boy (tee-hee) was last week busy!  My youngest son, Zachary turned eleven. I had hostess club night and then we had district play-offs for Zachary's hockey team.  They played very well and took home the 1st place trophy as District Champs!  Very exciting! : )
Here is one of the cards we made on club night.  We used the Oh, Whale stamp set and matching Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP.  Although this is a baby boy card, I picked it because it can easily be changed into a girl card using the same DSP paper (see the pink and blue whales?). Just change the background color to Pretty in Pink or Pink Pirouette and you will have a cute baby girl card. : )

 I used Bashful Blue card stock as my base.  The whale is stamped in Marina Mist.  We used two folders: First the Honeycomb which we sponged White craft onto. Next, we punched out a 2 1/2" white circle and ran it thru the Cloudy Day folder.

 And notice the stitching? I absolutely love the Needlepoint Border embossing folder.  It's very easy to use and can add that extra detail to give any card that special touch.  Accessories, to me, are a necessity!
