PPA250: Welcome Baby

Good afternoon, stampers! I finished my yard work chores for the day, and decided to upload I card I made last night.  I played with Pals Paper Arts color challenge.  Here's their challenge:
PPA250

Sadly, Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar are retiring in a few weeks, and I will miss them quit a bit.  I loved the color challenge and I thought it would be perfect for the baby card I need, so I had to play along.  Here's what I made.  This will be for my sister, Kristin, who is having her second child any time soon! So excited!!!!



We know she is having a boy, but his name is still a secret.  I am also making her a scrapbook using the retiring Project Life Little Moments Card Collection and Accessory Pack.  It will be so much fun putting it together!

Here are the supplies I used.  The ones in BLUE are retiring!!!! UG!:

Stamps: Celebrate Baby (#135368) and Something for Baby (#134030)
Ink: Coastal Cabana (#131175), Hello Honey (#133643), and Baked Brown Sugar (#131174)
Paper: Coastal Cabana (#131297), Hello Honey (#133678), Baked Brown Sugar (#131296),

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go.

I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear.
