This card for my Best of Brides & Babies class uses the second generation stamp technique with a twist.  Everyone at the class last night said they learned something new.  To make the congratulations background, we start at the bottom of the white piece.  I  inked my stamp really well with Midnight Muse and stamped the bottom of the white cardstock.  Then, I inked the same stamp again but only ONCE in Midnight Muse and stamped above the first image.  The image should be a bit less concentrated and dark.  Then stamp above that image without reinking.  Clean the stamp and ink it up with Marina Mist ink.  Stamp and then restamp without inking.  You should have no more room for stamping but have a super cute background!

Supplies used:

Stamps – Best of Brides & Babies, Petit Pairs, Sassy Salutations

Ink & Paper – Midnight Muse, Marina Mist, Whisper White

Accessories – Silver embossing powder, heat tool, Decorative Label punch, 1 3/4″ circle punch, stitched satin ribbon

I LOVE this little puppy image from the Little Friends stamp set!  It’s so true - puppies grab everything!  We recently had a little Boston Terrier puppy join our family and she is a full time job!!  I think God made puppies so adorable and cuddly because they are SO bad!! LOL  To make them cute was the only way we would put up with their antics!  Speaking of our puppy…

her name is Rylee is she is now 4 months old.  Would you like to meet her?

She doesn’t stay still long enough for us to get a good photo of her adorable face!

Well, there she is – our little baby.  She loves when my girls come home from school to play with her – she practically turns herself inside out with excitement.  She really is a lot fun.

TTFN!
