To make this card I used:
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Basic Black
Stamps: On Your Birthday, Pocket Silhouettes
Accessories: Stampin Up Markers, sponges

For the squares on the card, I cut 3x 1 1/4" squares with Whisper White cardstock and used a sponge to stamp them with the Certainly Celery and Old Olive. Then I adhered them to the card base and stamped the flowers with Basic Black. Finally, I took a ruler, and with the Old Olive marker, drew the lines.

This is the last card in filling my "on hand" collection of birthday cards. I like to have several on hand so I can grab in a hurray if I need a birthday card or one of my brothers needs one. After depleting my collection in a gift I made for my mom and sister, I now have a good selection again.

I've been wanting to make a baby card for some time now and I finally have some stamp sets that fit the bill.

Layer 7: 3 1/4" X 2 1/4" Whisper White stamped with Bearing Gifts in basic gray (with the to: and from: whiped out before stamping) and teeny tiny wishes in Ruby Red. I attached layer 6 to layer 5 with some Stampin Up! dimensionals. The bear and gifts are coloured in with Stampin UP! markers

I made this card a while ago, unsure how I would use it. I ended up giving it to my brother tonight to use for a birth in his office. I think it makes a nice congrats card for a baby. I love the lovely lilac with the old olive.
