For Baby Card

This card is made using the "Present This" layout idea in the Card Confidence Program.

Handstamped by Tracy L.

Directions:

1. Stamp baby stamp in black ink. Color in. I like to create a stencil and color stamp in by sponging in ink (See Quick Coloring with Stencils for instructions).

2. Sponge blue ink around the edge of the square. Mount on Crystal blue cardstock.

3.  Make a standard size card with white cardstock. Lay the small stripe stencil on top of the card. Use the sponge brayer to pick up some Key Lime ink and then roll it over the stencil. Repeat to get desired depth of color. Now, rotate the stencil 90 degrees and repeat to create a plaid pattern. This is so easy to do and I just love this technique!

4. On the card front place a strip of Key Lime patterned paper horizontally across the middle (matted with Key Lime and Crystal blue cardstocks). Layer the stamped square on top in the middle. Add a little bow above.
