Since the happy couple are expecting a boy I went with a lot more blue in the design. My background was made just using the Baby Oh Baby sentiment repeatedly in various colors. I then did some distressing with blue ink around the edges. The Mom To Be sentiment was die cut out with a double stitched circle die from Cottage Cutz and again I did some distressing with blue ink on it.
The young lady image was colored with a combination of Copics and Sharpies. I did no special blending but simply colored in the image. And, the background was stamped with various ink colors using Gina K. Design inks. After I had the young lady colored I fussy cut it and placed it on the background.
I am entering this in the following challenge:
Double D's Challenge
Well, I must confess I am in a stamping funk. For some reason I have lost my mojo but am mainly stamping according to my needs. So maybe that shows in my work but I still think this looks fairly nice anyway.
I hope all of you are having a great week. Hard to believe it is Wednesday already. I guess they call that "Hump" day. When you get through with Wednesday you are over the hump. LOL
Thanks so much for visiting. You have a great evening.
God bless,
Verna

Sweet card Verna, fun background
Looks beautiful! Love your color choices. XXOO
Well Verna I think it looks EXTRA nice, and I love how you've created this fun background with just the simple effects you did. It's perfect with the expectant Mom, and your coloring there looks great to me. I pretty much always work at making cards I need for something,unless I get the time to participate in a challenge. Well done! TFS & Hugs (PS...you have inspired me on some of the GK stuff...I bought the new inks...and then got the cubes!!!)
This is so sweet! I love how you made the background!

This is such a sweet image and I love the flowers in her hair. Your background is just great and so clever and the coloring is lovely. Mojo has a way of coming and going so I'm sure it will come back. Sometimes life just takes over for a while. Look through your supplies and visit Pinterest and you will be inspired again.
What a cute card, love the background. I have not seen that image before, but it's perfect for a Mother's Day card for that mom-to-be! Beautifully colored, my friend!
Oh that image is fantastic, isn't she lovely! The blues work so well! What a nice Shower card, one she will save forever I am sure!
When I look at this card, I don't think your mojo went very far. I love the background and the image of the new mom. Great and creative.
Thanks for joining us at Double D challenge May flowers.

This is a wonderful mother's card idea for a new mom-to-be! I love the background stamping with this sweet image - so perfect for the occasion!
Delightful in every way!! your background is the perfect base for your beautifully colored Mom to be : )
Super card for an expecting Mum, Verna. Lovely design. xx
Wow, this is a gorgeous shower card. I love the colors and the details.
Interesting how you say you've lost your mojo as it's not the least bit evident in your stamping. I need to focus on some particular card needs, too -- mostly anniversary. This is the sweetest thing. I love how you did the background.
love this...
xx Karen
I would not have thought you were in a funk at all... this is beautiful and love that background so much and the image is just pure sweetness.
