Happy News Day

Hello, today I have some happy news and a cute card to go with it.  On Tuesday morning my Grandson's wife gave birth to their first baby, a little girl. She is our 5th great grandchild, all girls!! Her name is Harper and she looks really cuddly. Unfortunately I will have to wait till later in the summer to hold her as they are living in Cyprus until then.

My card is a white 6" square base with pale pink paper cut to cover the front leaving a tiny border. I cut the bottom edge of it with a Fiskars edge punch and wrapped a piece of pink lace and some narrow ribbon round it before sticking it to the card. I stamped the Lily of the Valley stamp with grey Archival ink onto a snippet of white card and coloured it with Derwent Coloursoft pencils. I added a little sparkle to the stars and hearts with a clear sparkle gel pen. I trimmed it down and used a snippet of pink card for a mat, cutting the bottom edge with same punch to match the first layer.This is mounted onto the card with thin foam pads. I used two old clear stamps for the sentiment, I don't know the make, stamped with the grey ink. Then  I just tied a double bow with the ribbon and attached it along with a little pram charm.

I am going to enter this at, City Crafter Challenge Blog - Arrivals.

    Oh Jean, this really is such a pretty card. Wonderful design, luscious pinks with the darling image - and the charm is a fabulous finishing touch. I often used to use charms on cards and had forgotten quite how special they make a card. Love it!

    Thank you for coming to play in the Snippets Playground - it's been a while so it's lovely to have you back with us :)

    Hugs

    What a pretty card Jean and congratulations to your grandson and his wife. The LOTV image is just adorable and beautifully coloured with the pastel pinks and then the brighter shades to complement it, and I love the sweet little charm hanging from the double bow. x

    Congratulations to Marcus and Carly(?). I love the name Harper. I hope she is doing well. At least it is not too hot in Cyprus for them yet. Your card is so pretty. You are lucky to be able to make so many little girly cards. There is no use for them in my male-oriented family. Kate xx
