God's Most Beautiful Thoughts....



Hi, Friends......

Everyone at church is so excited that our pastor and his wife are expecting their first baby!  I wanted to make a special congratulatory card for them.  I used a sweet thrift store stamp that says:
"God's most beautiful thoughts bloom into children."
I stamped it on vellum with Versamark and heat embossed with WOW! Embossing Powder - Opaque Bright White Regular.   I colored on the non-embossed side with Spectrum Noir markers. 

I wanted to use this adorable teddy bear confetti, so a shaker seemed the way to go.  :) 

I also did a little bit of dressing up the inside, but nothing too fancy.  I discovered with these last two cards that decorating the inside of my cards is a great way to use more scraps!!!  Yay!!
 
 

Other supplies used include:
Sizzix - Circles, Scallop
Congratulations stamp from my stash
Ranger - Archival Ink (Wendy Vecchi Designer Series) in Forget-Me-Not
Scraps from my stash

Hope you enjoyed this card.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Your comments make my day!!
