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.

Oh this is absolutely beautiful and so very sweet Verna! What beautiful color combination and love the background font on the card! That image is the sweetest and so beautifully color too. The mom-to-be will sure to treasure this card. Wishing you a lovely spring day ahead Verna. Hugs.
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.
