Today over at Blogger's Challenge Lisa gave us a sketch to work with. I love these but this week was a bit short on time so I sat down last night and created a card for a new baby girl. I'm overdue on sending this but hope that this weekend I can get the gift and get it out in the mail.
When I first saw this sketch, I had a few things in mind knowing I was going to make the baby card. I interpreted the little ruffled part as a ticket punch looking piece and so I broke out a very neglected die from Papertrey Ink. I cut a few of the tickets and then stamped the new Animals4Print background on them from The{Stamps}of Life.
I cut 2 strips of regal rose cardstock and used the sewing machine to layer them on the card. My image is stamped on the inside of the circle as well as on a piece of vellum. I adhered it using some glossy accents to give it some dimension. My sentiment is stamped directly on the card and adorned with 2 small pearl accents. I wish that I could find a good cream colored ink that wasn't blotchy on dark cardstock. Anyone have a good suggestion on what to do?
This color combination uses the current Play Date Cafe Challenge as well.

Such a cute baby card! Love the double butterfly and the little pearl accents next to the sentiment!
Pretty butterfly. Great image for a baby card. The flowered ticket ribbon is a clever idea.

Super cute card! I use the vintage cream ink from Papertrey Ink. It works really good, you just need to load up the ink on the stamp.

Hi Kim! Love the ticket border and the pearl accents.
There is always room in the world for another butterfly! Very pretty card.
Love those animal-print tickets! I find you get a brighter image with white/cream/opaque inks if you use colored embossing powder as well (and heat-set of course).
I love butterflies and you really created the perfect card for a baby here...I also like the colors you used...TFS!!
