We have a new grandson in the family! Cole Andrew was born February 15 and he's a perfect little package. I bought this TeddyBo digi a long time ago, waiting for a special occasion and this is it!
The card is to attach to his baby gift, which is a new stroller. The image is TeddyBoBea_065, Jolly the G..Jiraffe.
The papers are from First Edition's Up, Up and Away collection and the tiny sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's Mixed Messages set. The ribbon is from one of Really Reasonable Ribbon's monthly clubpackets (love that ribbon!). The flowers are from my stash and the postage stamp is Inkadinkado #96740. It's one of my favourites and I think it was an Ebay purchase a long time ago. I also tried a couple of new things... usually I sponge/rub my shading colours in but this time I thought I would do the 'dot' thing - I admire this on other people's cards but am not so sure if I'm crazy about it on mine. Then I found this fabulous product made by Ranger and it's called Embossing Tinsel. Just the name of it caught my fancy but it's very cool stuff to use... where you put it on thicker, it melts in like embossing powder but still has a lot of texture but what I really like is the little bits of it scattered around the edges. Love the texture of that stuff! And lastly, nothing is ever complete without a little sparkle so I added Diamond Dust Stickles on the hat.
