Sweet Baby's First Year

A friend's baby just turned one recently.  How sweet!

I couldn't be in the celebration but have a little present to give and an excuse to see her.

I made this card for the occasion.  The birthday theme was about jungle animals, so guess what I made the card of.

Animal stamps are from Autumn Leaves, and the beautiful candle in the center is from Unity Stamp Company.

I love this card base covered with burlap.   This is one of those things you can do yourself but having the opportunity to getting them done saves you a lot of time.

I used some distress paint for the background and painted the images with watercolor pencils and markers.  Note also how I stamped on colored cardstock to use the color on my favor and just colored minimal details. :)

My friend hasn't seen the card but I'm sure she reads my blog... and follow me on facebook.  So... Soni... we have to get together so I can give you the little present for Adrián. :)
