My card today is made with four different challenges in mind.
Flourishes New Year challenge -- I have chosen to make a card for a new baby.
StampTV Friday Free For All -- make a baby card
Our Craft Lounge / Lily Pad Cards Challenge -- color challenge -- Navy/Silver/Light Blue (card entered at both sites)
I found some light blue patterned paper with baby phrases and another piece with dots. Cut one piece with a Nestabilities die and traced around the outside of the die on the navy paper to make a mat which I then outlined with a silver pen. Added a little bow and some silver pearls for embellishments.
I will be giving this card to the owners of our favorite restaurant here in Chapala. This will be their third son and is to arrive some time this month. The restaurant is located at their home so I'm sure we'll enjoy watching the little fellow grow up!
Here's the inside of the card:
Punched the corners with a Martha Stewart punch and added another piece of the "baby phrases" paper which was matted the same as the outside. Congratulations sentiment in Spanish from a set from Stampin' Up.
Thanks for stopping by,
Betty

hugs
Your card is so precious! Love the dies and punches you used! Wonderful dp! They'll definitely love it!
Very pretty, Betty! These folks will be so tickled that you have created a beautiful card for them. As Linda said, after the first, there's not nearly as much attention shown. Great card, my friend!
fantastic card Betty, they will love it, I gotta make some baby cards, thanks for reminding me !!!
Such a lovely design on this beautiful baby card. I love the silver accents and that the sentiment is in spanish for them. How is your spanish coming, you should be a whiz by now. I have forgotten almost all of what I learned in school and that was 3 years worth, Dont use it and you lose it.
hugs..
