Pretty in Pink . . .

Good Afternoon Blogging Friends!

While dinner (pork chops) is cooking, 

I thought I'd share a card with you that I created earlier today.

I just received some beautiful Crafty Secrets goodies that I was in need of for baby cards.  Not only is our neighbor expecting her first child (a girl) but I have 

completely run out of baby cards in my box to sell at the craft shows.

Plus, I hear that after this frigid Winter , we can expect

another Baby Boom this Fall!  LOL!!

My card is constructed primarily with products from two of my favorite companies ... Crafty Secrets and Cheery Lynn Designs.

The background panel is digital design paper from Crafty Secrets

called Pink Chenille Quilt.

The images & stamps come from the Crafty Secrets 'Baby Girl 54 piece images and mini clear art stamp set'.

Here's a peek at the inside of my card.

The sentiment is from the Crafty Secrets 'Words from the Heart' (Little Ones).

The panel actually had the bear on the left side of the phrase,

but it was too wide for my card panel so after

coloring the bears using my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers,

I did a little fussy cutting and added it to the top corner.  

Cute, huh!

Here are a couple closeups of the details.  You can click on these images to enlarge if you'd like an even closer look.

This beautiful heart die is from Cheery Lynn Designs and is called "Two of Hearts" #DL128.  I cut out the larger (bottom) heart a second time in the pink cardstock ... then cut the center out so it peeks through the smaller heart on the top which is popped up with pop dots.  The narrow satin ribbon is by Darice and I simply put it through two of the openings and tied it in a bow.  The flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

On the left side of the card front I die cut a lace panel with my Cheery Lynn Designs 'Anastasia border die' #B136 of white card stock and then placed a band of the same Darice pink satin ribbon and tied in a bow.  The cute little image in the star was fussy cut, then matted (more fussy cutting) and faux stitched with a white Gelly Roll pen.
