My oldest son and his wife are expecting a new baby this October, so my little 23-month-old grandson is going to be a big brother! We are thrilled beyond words!
I wanted to make a special card to celebrate the good news, so I pulled out my Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Stargazer Lily dies and die cut some paper I had used watercolors, ink smooshing, and sprays on. I die cut all the parts to create the 2 lilies in the set along with several leaves from the same set, and then I assembled the flowers and set them aside.
I used the Tim Holtz Burlap stencil and some purple glitter paste to give the background panel some texture. Then I stamped the sentiment: Live for the moments you can't put into words (from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Bewitching Rose set) and adhered the leaves and lilies with liquid glue and some foam tape. I attached the panel to a green A2 card base.
For the inside of the card, I used Hero Arts' Stamp & Cut: Congrats Happy set to die cut the "congrats" out of fun foam and stamp the "on your new baby."
