Super cute card to share with you today! This will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Monday, Masculine, Simon Says Wednesday, Masculine, Stamping Sensations, Favorite Stamp, and Penny Black, Anything Goes!
I made this for my Son In Law, Tim, as he will become a 1st time father later this year! EEK! I had this great Argyle Designer Paper in my stash, bought with him in mind. He loves a cardigan sweater so I thought this would be the most perfect design! I added some texture to the background using a Sizzix Embossing Folder. Hand cut a pocket and lined up the pattern. Added more texture with my Crimper for the neckline and waist band. A couple of buttons for accent.
My favorite stamps.....Happy Father's Day!!! Stamp sets: Gina K Designs; Mommy To Be Diva and Simple Numbers. Papertrey Ink stamp set, Tag--Its 2. Inks in Raven Black and Soft Sky.
I think this coming week the kids will announce the gender of the baby! I am soooooo excited!!! Of course, all the Grandparents know, but again have been sworn to secrecy! Stay Tuned!!!
Thanks for strolling by!
Enjoy~~
This is so stinkin' ADORABLE!!! Tim will love it. Very clever to use the crimper, and I really like the buttons. So creative and cute!
