Hello Little One

I hope everyone is enjoying their week. The week back after spring break is always tough. This year it was compounded by state tests and out first taste of warm spring weather. Sure made it tougher for the kids to be in a classroom.

Spring also means lots of  babies starting to arrive. I needed to replenish my supply of baby cards and while looking through my stash, I came across a stamp I have never used and forgot I own. I'm sure that's never happened with any of you. (wink) The stamp is from the Unity Stamp Company Hello Little One stamp set. In addition to the cute elephant, the set includes a sweet penguin and giraffe. 

I used a SSS Stitched Circle die to die cut the front of my card base. I used two of the dies to create the gray frame around the opening. The elephant was stamped inside the opening with Memento gray flannel ink. I added a heart from the set with Picked Raspberry distress ink. Wink of Stella was used over the stamped images for added shine.

One of the sentiments from the set was stamped with the same gray ink and cut into a banner. I then used the gray CS to mount the banner on.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

     Crooked Stamper Sketch Challenge #3 - sketch below
     The Card Concept #33 - photo inspiration below (I used the gray & hot pink colors)
     Shopping Our Stash #197: Lost & Found  (use something recently rediscovered - my stamp set)
     CASology: Week 142 - Sweet

I'm off to the New Jersey shore tomorrow. My Irish Princess is competing at Feis at the Beach. The dancers are competing on the beach and there's an amusement park. Looks like so much fun!

As always, thanks for stopping by. I love reading your wonderful comments. Enjoy!
