One Layer Wednesday - Welcome Baby

Hello, friends!  I am so happy that I was able to squeak out a little time for crafting in between covering books, decorating journals, filling out forms, and sitting at a soccer game!  It is a beautiful Saturday, hot and sunny, luckily with no rain in sight -- maybe the overflowing rivers and lakes around here will finally start to recede and dry out...what a crazy past few weeks it has been!

I happened to see that the One Layer Wednesday challenges are up and running again after a summer hiatus.  When I saw the topic -- baby cards -- I HAD to join in the fun.  I have been dying to use the new Paper Smooches stamp set (A Little Lovin') since I received it, so that is exactly what I did. 

This is a very simple one layer design; the elephants and sentiment are embossed in black and water-color painted, then I stamped the same sentiment repeatedly with Soft Pool and Baby Pink dye ink.  I embossed the dots up the side with my Cuttlebug, rounded the corners, and voila!

 

Here is a close-up of the sentiments...as the ink dried they became so subtle, almost hard to see!

I have to say that Paper Smooches stamps are quickly becoming a favorite.  Of course, I'll always be a Hero Arts girl at heart, but if you're looking for "cutesie" designs, then Paper Smooches is the way to go! 

Have a great day,

Judy
