Hello! My stepdaughter is giving a shower for a friend this coming weekend and she asked me to make a card for her. She told me the girl likes pink camo. So I have been on the hunt for pink camo for a while! I put requests out to friends to find me pink camo fabric or paper. It was much harder to find that I thought it would be. One friend suggested digital, but I didn't have much luck there either. The only thing I did find was fabric with hot pink tones with large peace signs all over it and I got it a Wal-mart! Even though the pinks were brighter shades than I was thinking, I went with it. And, the peace signs were never an issue because there was enough of the camo print between them to work. I originally was thinking I would color copy the fabric so I would have cardstock to work with, but I just couldn't get the coloring right when I copied. So, in the end, I went with the actual fabric ... keeping my fingers crossed that it dosen't ravel! The scrapbook store close by, called Country Scents, was kind enough to cut out a baby carriage for me from their Cricut which I adhered my hot pink fabric to. And from there, I found some paper that I thought would brighten up the card, combining it with a die cut layer, ribbon and rhinestones. Here is my completed card. Enjoy!
What do you think? I rather like how it came out. But, I did have a little trouble getting to the end. It all started to come together once I added the panel behind the baby carriage. See? Those Spellbinders dies are ALL must haves! Hee Hee! On the right, you can see the inside. I couldn't resist using another Spellbinders die, in this case the heart, to give the inside a little accent!

Last Saturday I attended the stamp convention in Grapevine. I so enjoyed seeing all the people I haven't seen in a while and I got some new stamps too! I hope to be back in a day or two with some new stamp creations for you.
Happy Stamping!

Very cute card.
I know you bought enough stamps in Grapevine that you should have posted at least a dozen new cards since Saturday. Where are they? Are you being lazy or did your stamps melt in your "nice hot car"? Just kidding!

This is just too cute! I need one just like it for Lindsey. She's having a girl....did I tell you?
I bought some pink camo paper by Teresa Collins, it is her Freestyle Collection. I made a beautiful card for my daughter-in-law...
