A Special Arrival

Evening all! Today's card is for my good friend Eliane, who I lived with at Uni, and she's just given birth to a baby girl! So huge congrats to Eliane and Greg! Can't wait to see the pics! I've gone for a bit of a different colour scheme from the usual pink, and chose purples, green and brown, and they go quite well together me thinks! Must say I am soooo glad I bought this Whiff of Joy stamp when the collection came out cos it's had a fair amount of use-more than I thought! Will get much more too as quite a few friends are pregnant at the moment! Awww I want another!

Stuff: Whiff of Joy stamp by Elisabeth Bell coloured with copic ciaos and sketch pens, Basic grey Wisteria papers, core'dinations cardstock, SU cardstock in choc chip, sewing machine, pearls from stash, pins (how beautiful is that big fancy one!) from Quixotic Paperie here, nestability label die, lace from here, lilac organza ribbon from stash, pokey tool for paper piercing around nestie frame.

I'm going to enter this over at Cafe Mojo (been too long since I played over there-hello Mavens!) as their theme is a momentous occasion as a new arrival certainly is that! Here's a little close-up of the main image:~
That's all from my tonight, I'll be back tomorrow with my Stamp Something DT project. Thanks for popping by and any comments you might leave! Sleep tight xxx
