My daughter's baby shower was this past weekend. I wanted to make a very special card for the occasion.
A Carl Sandburg quote, "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on." was what I chose to hand letter onto a 6" x 6" piece of watercolor paper. Before I did the lettering, however, I created a suitable background to enhance the lettering. I used a combination of inks, Brushos, stencils and sponging.
After I had finished the lettering portion of the card, I mounted it to a 6" x 12" cardstock base to give me a 6" x 6" card.
Being an odd-sized card warranted me bringing out my Envelope Punch Board to make a custom envelope for the card.
This is the envelope closed with the card inside.
The color scheme I chose for my card matches that of the future Enzo's room. It is in shades of blue, green, gray and white.
Can't wait to meet you, Enzo!
Excited
Smiles.
That card is so sweet, love the colors and the wording, it will be a nice memory for your daughter. Congratulations for a grandma to be!
