Today's Featured Stamper FS492 is our sweet friend Rita (scootsv). Rita has a gallery overflowing with inspiration. I always enjoy seeing Rita's cards during events such as HYCCT! Congrats on being our Featured Stamper this week, Rita!
Rita has several baby cards in her gallery. I think this one is soooo cute: Basket Full of Wishes. Even though Madonna is a Christmas card when I saw this card it made me think of the name of the stamp set I used, "A Mother's Arms".
I colored my image by stamping Clearsnap Color Box 4-color - Spring ink on my craft mat and picked up the color with an aqua brush. I had a happy accident when the green and pink accidentally mixed together and created skin tone! I added just a bit more color and had hair color. To finish off the coloring I added a little bit of watercolor wash around mom & baby. TFL!
