Not long to go now and we will be welcoming our new little nephew to the world.  Thought I'd better get to the desk and make a welcome baby card so we would be all set for when he arrives - any day now!

This card is based on a design by Jen70 on Splitcoaststampers.  I unpacked my new Wild About You stamp set and used my So Saffron marker for the giraffe.  I used Always Artichoke and Ballet Blue for the flower.  I made the grass by just inking up a little of the flower stem.  I did all the matting with Always Artichoke cardstock.  The base card is So Saffron, and the patterned pieces are from this month's Palette O'Prints Promotion.  (Spend $35 and you can buy the pad of 48 6"x6" squares of Rose Red, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Almost Amethyst patterned paper for $12.95.  Offer ends 31 May.)  I popped a short length of the wide blue grosgrain ribbon across and stamped my Short and Sweet greeting in Always Artichoke to finish it off. 

Milleara Craft Market

I'm setting up a table at the Milleara Craft Market (in Avondale Heights) this Sunday 25th May from 9-3 if anyone out there will be in the neighbourhood.  I'll have some cards and other items on display and will be demonstrating a few simple techniques.  Pop by and say hi.

Cheers,  Sue
