It's a boy!

This is a card I made for my new nephew, Owen who was born at the end of last month.

I am entering this card into Lisa B. Design monthly blog challenge. The theme of this month's challenge is Those Magnificent Men!

I started by stampin the cute bear image. The stamp I used was Snuggle Time by Lili of the Valley.  I stamped the image with a Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. I coloured the image with Copics. I added Glossy Accents to the rattle and bottle to give a plastic look. I cut out the coloured image and the frame with Nestabilites.

 

I mounted the coloured image and frame onto squares of dark blue card and spotty paper. For the letters I used Craftwork Cards Printers Block stamps which I stamped in dark blue ink. In the corners I added photo corners which I punched with a Stampin' Up punch. To finish the card I added black and white faux stitching.
