Another of my colleagues at the office had a baby recently – this time a baby girl. I decided to continue not using the typical pastel pink/blue and chose crisp cantaloupe for my card.

I borrowed the Alphabet Press embossing folder from my sister in my continued attempt last weekend to use all of the supplies that she’d brought from the UK. I liked the idea of having the alphabet on a baby card although I doubt that the baby will learn much from it. I ran the piece of crisp cantaloupe through the big shot and mounted it on a piece of very vanilla which in turn was mounted on the crisp cantaloupe card base. Next I took the single tee that I have from the retired Stampin’ Up! Baby Tees wheel (when I de-wheeled it, I ended up with 4 tees which fit on a block and a spare one) and stamped it in crisp cantaloupe on very vanilla. It looked a little stark so I put the edges of the card onto the crisp cantaloupe ink pad to soften the look.
