Baby Shower


My daughter's best friend, Debbie and her partner, are due to have their first baby in a couple of weeks and we were invited to a baby shower last weekend. I thought this little House Mouse stamp was perfect. I coloured it using watercolour pencils but for the water used a blue sSakura stardust pen to watercolour with and finished by adding glossy accents. I used Laura Ashley backing papers and a border punch to get the lace effect and lettering using my trusty Cuttlebug. I finally added the always necessary flower and brad (need to stock up soon .....) and,wait for it, ribbon - phew!! We know she is having a little girl so I was justified in all of the pink :-)
