Swirly Bird Baby

The inspiration for the colors for today’s card came to me this morning while I was watching the weather report on one of our local television stations.  The weather person had on a navy skirt and pink top and it reminded me that I have always wanted to make a card with those colors and this is the result.  This card can be for a little girl or little boy baby.

I also love gingham so I got to incorporate the navy gingham ribbon onto the card and I’m embarrassed to say that I finally (!) used my Stamparatus!  Oh my goodness, I love it!  I used the Ruffled Embossing Folder for the Blushing Bride panel as it reminded me of waves. Sometimes we have too many toys and can’t play with all of them, right?
