Welcome Baby

This week I had to make another baby card for my colleague who just had her first baby...  This time the card is from all of us at the office and they wanted me to make it with the baby's photo. 

I'm not so keen on making cards with photos, as I don't get to colour in any images, but this time I found a way to do this.. ...


..by adding this cute Pink Gem Giraffe stamp. Well it was a real hit, and everyone loved it, I was so pleased :)

I coloured my stamp with my promarkers, papers are from my DCWV Nana's Nursery paper pack, some doodling and card candy, followed this sketch..

.. and well.. that's it!

I am entering my card in these challenges today

    Ohhhhh, this is way too cute! I have not tried a photo card yet, I love how you added the little giraffe too, a perfect accent. And I always love blue polka dots for baby boys, so sweet!
