Baby cards

Hi someone I know was pregnant and no one knew whether
it was a boy or a girl and so I thought I would make a
selection of cards, here are a few...


I made the one above using grand nestability labels 1 dies on my new
Grand Calibur.  Love the shape!
The image is from Joanna Sheen's Baby Love CD.





This second pink one is made using the grand scallops square dies on the grand calibur! 
Am just loving making shaped cards!!!  The decoupage is from a kit that
I bought ages ago from Create and Craft!

Lili of the Valley

Hi I love this stamp from lili of the valley.  I left this card blank so that it could
be valentines or anniversary or even just a general 'love'card!
I love the striking pink against the black!




The image is stamped and coloured with copics, the
ribbon is from my stash and the flowers are
from Wild Orchid Crafts.
