Front Image: Stork carrying baby in a bundle
Front Sentiment: “Congratulations”
Inside Sentiment: “You have a brand new reason to smile”
I created the base card from white cardstock and layered it with a light blue cardstock and a tweed patterned paper. To add a splash of boldness to the card, I used cheddar yellow as the accent color for the sun, banner, and image matte. For depth I sponged darker cheddar around the edges of these three elements.
I hand stamped the adorable stork and baby on white cardstock and then colored them. Keeping with the whimsical theme, I embellished the image with several clouds cut from patterned paper.
To add a little pizzazz, I printed “Congratulations” on a banner and elevated the center to give it dimension. I used a small brad to anchor the flag end.
For the inside of the card I printed the sentiment “You have a brand new reason to smile” on blue cardstock and adorned it with a group of patterned clouds.
I made a coordinating envelope from heavy white cover stock and affixed a group of patterned clouds in the lower left hand corner.
