Make-a-Card Monday: Are you positive??

Again, my 'something new' this week is pregnancy. I have a couple friends that are trying to have a(nother) baby and I thought this would be a fun card for encouragement. I'm not one to sit a dwell on this subject. In fact, I would rather give it as little thought as possible. But I couldn't resist this...


I think that it could be taken two ways; "Good luck with that." as in "I'm glad it's not me." or "Good luck with that." as in "I hope you get your positive soon."

This card was made with the latter intended. This might be the only time I use it but it was well worth it. :)

This is another stamp from Unity Stamp Co. I used Midnight Muse and Pixie Pink (didn't have any Rose Red left) and kept everything simple. I added a little shading to my test with Copic Markers and then matted part of the sentiment on Midnight Muse. This picture makes it look uber bright but it's really not. I liked the idea of using pink and blue for a card like this. 'Cause you never know what you're gonna get!

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy (and in some cases, PREGNANT!!).

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Addicted to CAS #33 - Baby
Dynamic Duos #92 - Rose Red and Midnight Muse
Freshly Made Sketches #125

  3. I love this stamp! I always look for stamps I can use to congratulate parents to be...not just for when the baby has just been born. I am going to be looking for this one! Great idea.
