Baby Brother Card

I just found out my cousin is welcoming his second little boy to this world in a few days.  I think it's wonderful, the age difference between his two boys will be very close to the gap in my boys! :) This card really reminds me of those times when my boys were little!

Here is the card I made for my cousin and his wife:

The card base is 4 1/2" x 5".  I grabbed the lace-up card base from New Arrival and hid three sides on my Gypsy to get the blue polka-dot base that laces on only one long side. I laced it with a sheer white ribbon and 1/8" satin blue ribbon after I tied the bow with my Bow Easy. The oval is also on the New Arrival cart.

I love these little feet from New Arrival, I cut them at 1" in generic white cardstock.  I inked the edges and popped them up on some pop-dots. I covered them in some Studio G glitter glue for a little sparkle.  I also added the glitter glue to the oval frame around the pencil drawing of the boys.

Here is a close-up of the bow. I placed a simple square button on the top.

I created this cute little banner for my sentiment.  The stamp is from Scrappy Moms. Again, I inked the edges with some blue ink and a finger tip sponge dauber.

I inked the inside too and added two more little (adorable) feet! :)

I adore the image I used.  I drew this back when my youngest was a newborn. I don't draw often anymore but I used to when I was in college.  This one took me some time! I was using a photo as my reference, the picture was taken when my now six-year-old was 4 days old. :)

I scanned this image and printed it on glossy photo paper for this card.
