It's a boy!

A cousin to our children was born recently, and we are soon going to see him... so I decided I need to make a card for the new relative. I like how it turned out, and I'm posting for the Our Creative Corner challenge (what makes you smile), the Stampinback card challenge (things that fly...well he's just a bit sleepy at the moment!), the Rubberdance challenge (yellow-green-blue) and the Craft Barn weekly challenge /SimonSaysStamp Wednesday challenge (for men in our lives on both of them).


Baby blue has never been my kind of colour, so I chose a splattery greenish underpaper from my stash. I'll admit being inspired by the VLVS moodboard for June, even though I'm not posting for that yet. I glued the underpaper on some card and did some doodle sewing around the edges. The sleeping baby image is from Stampinback, the butterfly wings from the Crafty Individuals butterfly pairs set.


I arranged some wool to make a soft nest for the little naked baby and chose the sentiment to reflect the feeling of anything being possible at that point of a life :) I really like how this turned out, certainly a setting that suits this baby stamp.
