Tropical Birthday - Skipping Stones Design

FINALLY -- I managed to get a little bit of time in the stamp office before the baby's due date . . . and this is what I came up with. I colored this image while looking at a tropical sunset picture, and then found colors of paper to match.  It's a little bright, but at the same time, it just works.

Speaking of tropical vacations, if you are like me and stuck at home for a little while, pop into Bath & Body Works!  The other day I picked up the most YUMMY smelling tarts (all pineapple-y and fruity goodness) -- they totally will make your house smell glorious and make you smile!!!

Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
