Welcome Baby!




 I made this card for a niece and nephew who just had twin boys -- congratulations to them!  Sadly, just about everything on this card is retired, but I always love working with this stamp, Bringing Baby.  

The clouds behind the image are sponged and are one of my favorite finishes.  I punched out two shapes using the scallop punch, put them end to end at a slight angle and glued them together.  I used a sponge dauber with Soft Sky along the top of the combined shapes, moving them and angling down the paper as I went.  The result is a very soft cloudscape!
