STAMPlorations April Blog Hop Day 2


Hi All,
Welcome to Day 2 of the STAMPlorations April Stamp Release Blog Hop. Today we are introducing you to the The Bee's Knees BABY BUMP set, a set of 4 images and 5 sentiment elements.

For today's card, I combined with the Heaven Sent set due to feature on day 4 of our hop.


I decided to use use the sketch Quick Cards Made Easy posted on their Facebook page April 13 as my starting point. I cut my panels to size and randomly stamped my images and sentiment (congratulations) in yellow, orange, pink, green, blue and turquoise before edging them in blue and adding some faux stitching in blue too. I embossed a piece of white card, edged and added some faux stitching too. I then stamped, coloured and fuzzy cut my pregnant lady before matting and layering on light blue card and white base card as shown. I added my sentiment (so happy for you) and finished off with a few daisies and green gems.
