It's a _____!

I have a friend who is pregnant. She and her husband have decided to wait until the "birth-day" to find out if the baby is a boy or girl.  She's due this week, so I knew I needed to get this card made and in the mail before too long.  She had a shower a couple of weeks ago.  You may remember this card I made for it. 

Melissa Bickford's Bundle of Love set was perfect for this, and I just love that stork.  Here's my card for my sweet, sweet friend:

Bundle of Love, Ripe Avocado Bitty Dots paper and ink, Lemon Tart cardstock/satin ribbon, Fiskars grass punch
I highlighted the bottom of the stork and the baby with a Copic C1 marker, and then gave the lines a bit of sparkle with a Sakura Stardust pen.  The baby was colored and paper-pieced, then the edges were inked with Spring Rain. 

I better get this in the mail before she goes into labor!

I'm sure she is tired of seeing yellows and greens and is ready to look at either pink and blue for awhile!  She has been waiting for this baby for so long and I can't wait for her to finally be a mommy.  She's made for it!  I think I'll make a boy card and a girl card today so that I'm ready for the big day!

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!

What a sweet card. I love how you used that grass punch. I finally found one of those punches for myself, after seeing you use it on so many cards in such cute ways. Good luck to your friend.
