Baby girls are like flowers that are forever in bloom.
Hey there from Nannyland,
Baby Indy made her entrance into the world a couple of days ago and everyone around her is smitten. She is beyond adorable! I already have her quilt wrapped up in a pretty box and all I need to do is tuck this card inside to complete my love-filled handmade gift. When planning this card, I saw several darling images of babies in my digi library, but THIS exquisitely drawn image from Conie Fong really caught my eye. I enjoyed being on Conie's design team so much because I absolutely adore her gorgeous artwork. This image is perfect for my beautiful friend who has lovely thick locks of blond mermaid hair.
After coloring the image with Copic markers, I added details with a white gel pan. I fussy cut her and adhered her to a water-colored dp panel, which I edged with a gold leafing pen. I cut a shaped card with a Heartfelt Creations frame die and added a matching gold panel to fit the card front. The intricate embossed layer was die cut in white card stock and the focal panel was attached with foam tape for dimension. The flower embellishments are handmade from Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies and molds, with punched gold swirls and a mini die cut butterfly for accents.
It's such a joy to spend hours creating baby gifts and cards because the recipients are so precious. I like imagining them all warm and cozy wrapped in a quilt that I created especially for them. It's like giving them a never-ending giant hug! I hope you have some sweet little ones in your life to share your creative talents with...and maybe pass some of your skills on to them to keep the creative cycle going.
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.

Outstanding coloring. I love the coloring, of course, but I really like her hair colors, perfect for the light glinting off the locks of her hair. So glad you joined us over at Morgan's ArtWorld. We hope to see you again.
