This is the card that I just finished for my new neice's baby gift. Becky Robert's had posted the sweetest baby gift set and card and I had to try replicating a bib card.
I used the Big shot and the some circle and scallop circle nestabilities dies to make the bib. The white circle was adhered to the regal rose scallop circle and folded in half. I used the 1 3/8" circle punch to punch a neck opening in the top of the bib. The scallop circle punch and the 1 3/8" circle punch were used to create a scallop edging for the neck opening which was adhered in place after the polka dot background had been stamped.
I added a pretty in pink polka dot stamped background to the front of the white bib. I stamped the hippo from the Pun Fun set in basic black ink on the front of the white circle and then again on scrap whisper white cardstock. I cut the hippo and balloon images out of the scrap cardstock and watercolored them with pretty in pink and regal rose inks. They were adhered over the stamped images on the front of the bib.
I punched two flower shapes from regal rose cardstock and adhered them on either side of the neck opening, over the ends of the whisper white tafetta ribbon. I added a 5/16" white circle brad to the center of each flower.
I am hoping to participate in the sketch challenge today but I have to get ready for my technique group tomorrow. Have a great Wednesday!
