Little Dreamers Baby Card

I'm going to a baby shower this weekend for my niece and wanted a special card for her little one. She knows she's having a girl which made it nice when choosing colors and a gift!

This set, Little Dreamers, is especially adorable if you like cute animals. I happen to love them and love coloring them so it really appeals to me!

I used a combo of Stampin' Blends and Copic markers to color the elephant. I find that sometimes the Blends don't have light enough colors for me so I need to add the Copics.

I'm entering this in The Paper Players color challenge PP676 - Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Smoky Slate and White. All perfect for a sweet baby card!

I punched out a few hearts using the Country Bouquet punch to add to the "love" theme. I tried using a Berry Burst Glimmer paper for some of the punched hearts but they seemed a bit over the top for a baby card. While I often like to add a little sparkle, for some reason I decided it wasn't the right thing for THIS particular card.

Something I like to do, especially when I'm not mailing the card, is stamping an envelope. It doesn't take long and adds a lot. I usually use the image and stamp it only partially on the corner of the envelope. Here I added a few hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

Challenges entered:

• The Paper Players - Color Challenge PP676
• The Sisterhood of Crafters - Love
