Congrats! Baby on the way

I made this card for my daughter who is having baby number 4!  They want the gender to be a surprise....wah wah waaah.   I am sure that will make it more exciting, although she always seems to know what she is having before the ultra sound. 

 

We all knew it was time for another baby as her youngest will be 2 in December and he no longer smells like a baby...lol  This will make grand baby #6 how awesome is that!  

 

I do believe that Rock a Bye Jiggy is just the cutest and perfect for my card.  I love the entire dragon line.  Yes, I am still working on my Copic skills.  I must say that I am enjoying them more and more.

Did someone say presents?

Yahoo, it's on to Holiday projects!  This is the first of many holiday cards.  Guess I will be as busy as any Elf.  I have been trying new coloring techniques with my Copic's.  I added polka dots to the box with my colorless blender.  Tried several other blending techniques with my blender.  Practice hopefully will make perfect.

I absolutely love my little Ribbon Girl stamp from Gurlee Girl Stamps.  She is just gorgeous and a pleasure to color.  As hard as I try I am still having issues with adding flower embelishments.  There were more on my card until I took them off.  It just looked like too much.  Next time I will leave them on.  I may have a problem under embellishing just like I do with under seasoning when I cook.  Guess that's why DH does all the cooking...LMAO 

I entered her into the following challenges: 

• A Spoonful of Sugar Lets get Punchy
• CLP  Sketch Challenge 30
• Copic Creations Colorless Blender Tricks
