Baby Gingham

Well what a glorious day it's been here.... almost ashamed to say I sat in my craft-room this morning making cards!!! The difference in yesterdays temperature to todays is amazing , I was wrapped up in a coat yesterday for our daily dog walk and today its was short sleeves all the way!

The cards I've been making today are for the Babies or Children's cards challenge at Less is More.
I've gone with the traditional gingham pattern as well as the usual blue and pink for boy and girl..... I was a bit rebellious when it came to dressing Hannah as a baby and steered clear of pink but for cards it seems somehow right!

As you can see I succumbed to the alphabet dies from PTI having seen so many gorgeous cards made with them, the font is just so versatile.
The gingham base card is a digi pattern from Pink Petticoat.... I really wanted to try my own printed base card so it would show through the letters, trouble is our printer is starting to play up....typical seeing as I've just recently decided to cancel the monthly cover payment on it... Grrr... but luckily these two sheets turned out okay after a few test runs on paper first.
The 'New Baby' sentiment is a stamp from a UK company I found at Ally Pally called Imagine That Papercrafts , they sell their own clear stamps and can be found here... I really like the combination of fonts in their stamp sets :0)

This is such a fun theme so I hope to be back with a couple of children's birthday cards.... being a big kid myself it shouldn't be too hard!!!

Thanks for looking
