Spoon full of sugar no. 33

I've made a quick card for a couple who have just had their first baby, a little boy. I've used the sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar and I've also inadvertently covered a couple of the other challenges taking place this week:

Stamp Something - The challenge this week is 'No Stamping Allowed'

Our Creative Corner - This weeks challenge is a colour challenge; 'Use 2 shades of blue', there's obviously lots of blue on the card but I'm using the flowers in the corner to cover this challenge!

Here's the sketch:

Here's my card:

The footprints are actually a metallic blue in real life but the camera just didn't seem to want to pick this up so they look black in the photo.

The challenge over at Our Creative Corner this week is to make a gift card holder. I needed to make a voucher holder so have submitted this for the challenge. I was so inspired by one of the DT members holders so you will see the similarities between mine and Denises' although I have turned it around and altered it slightly.

There's a great sketch at Our Creative Corner this week. I suddenly realised yesterday that I have run out of birthday cards as I seem to have been concentrating on Christmas for quite a while, having said that I still need some more Xmas cards, I thought I had enough but when I sat down to write them yesterday I realised I am quite a few short, aaah the panic is starting to set in!!!

Anyway, enough waffle, here's the sketch:

And my card:

I've used:

• My new Forever Friends stamp coloured using watercolour pencils
• Paper and a pink gem from my stash
• A flower template I made a while back
