BABY BIRTHDAYS

So my new stamps from Lili of The Valley arrived and they are just so cute!!!  Couln't wait to play with them, so I got stamping!!  My niece Robyn's first birthday is fast approaching and the baby girl stamp was just perfect for her!!!

I stamped and coloured the image in using my promarkers, I then cut the image out using my circle nesties and inked the edges using my Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick distress inks (one of my favourites).  I then cut another circle in pink card stock and distressed and inked this as well.  Used a simple backing paper from my stash which I distressed and inked as well (HELP I am a distress junkie).  I added a lovely paper rose, a little white ribbon (had to add something NOT pink LOL) and some....yes you guessed it....PINK gems.  I added a happy birthday sentiment and the card was done

so inspired by baby birthdays I decided to make another card using my male baby stamp.....isn't he just the cutest???  I coloured him in promarkers and cut him out using my deckle edge nesties.  I inked the edges in red and mounted him on some cardstock that I had sanded!  I added some red eyelets and then mounted the image on some red checked paper which I had mounted on more sanded cardstock

thanks for looking :o)
