Lila Grace welcome :)

Hello Friends, Today is a special day because many of Jennifer’s friends are sharing cards to welcome Jennifer (McGuire’s) sweet baby Lila into the world and you can too!  Please visit Jana’s blog to leave any message for Jennifer and or link your card.
This ultra thick paper is wonderful for one layer cards. You don’t see ANY of my Copic coloring on the backside of my card.
This Paper Smooches stamp was perfect way for my “news flash” welcoming baby Lila. I put a photo of Lila into “word” and printed it & stamped on top of it. The second TV is where I spent more time coloring. The knobs are a gentle squirt of this and so are the white dots on the boarder from Penny Black.
At first I thought I was finished then had to add some dots and “flash” stamping.
I used Booo, Boo, and Bo2 Copic markers on the boarder. Love this stamp by the way.
Did you notice that the first line is colored the darkest and every line gets lighter and lighter? So fun to color.
Sorry for the bad photo but, this shows you the white enamel accents.  See you soon, Hugs, Kathy
P.S as soon as I get a change I am drawing the random winner for the card kit in this post.

    Superbly inventive & your use of those enamel accents with the flash stamping is thoroughly effective. The graduated colouring looks great too & adds real interest to catch the eye too.
