Hello, everyone -– happy Friday! Today we're helping my sweet friend, Taylor Van Bruggen spread the word... she's expecting a sweet little bundle of GIRL in September! So I decided to make the wall plaque/frame below in a girly theme to help celebrate –- fortunately, I know a little bit about girls!
You'll also want to hop around to the rest of my blogging friends linked below, as Taylor will be giving away one stamp set of your choice from the Taylored Expressions May release to a lucky commenter on one of the blogs! You have through Sunday, May 8th (Mother’s Day!) to leave your comments and the winner will be announced on Taylor's blog on Monday!
Images from Bringing Home Baby and Welcome Baby A la Carte were stamped onto Copic’s X-Press It Blending Card and colored with these Copic markers:
The pacifier has Star Dust Stickles on it and the carriage was die cut with Spellbinders Labels Small and popped up on foam tape. I placed this 4-inch stamped piece into this great wooden wall plaque/frame with hook that I found a while back at Hobby Lobby already painted pink with polka dots!
Aren't those stamp images the sweetest?!! Congratulations on your sweet bundle of GIRL, Taylor – we’re so thrilled for you!
Here are the blogs to visit and leave comments on, by Sunday, May 8th, for your chance to win a stamp set of your choice from Taylored Expressions’ May release –- good luck!
Sharon Harnist (you’re here!)
Hope you all have a fabulous Mother’s Day weekend!
Absolutely gorgeous coloring! Beautiful project.
Hugs and smiles
