Congratulations X 3!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!!

Here is my card for today's challenge on the There She Goes Blog, TSG81, which is a fab sketch brought to us by Holly!!!

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew just what I wanted to do!! Our friends recently had triplets (I know...can you flippin' imagine???), and my husband has been after me to make a card to send to them. This sketch was the perfect layout!!!

I started by stamping the darling onesie from Bit of Stardust from There She Goes three times in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Kraft cardstock and then twice on some Pretty In Pink SU! DSP I had, and once one Bashful Blue DSP. Obviously, they had two girls and a boy!!

I then paper pieced each onesie, and before I adhered the patterned paper, I sponged the edges very lightly with Memento Desert Sand for a bit of definition. Using my Copic Multi-Liner, I wrote their names under each onesie. The sentiment, "Congratulations", also from Bit of Stardust, was stamped on a bit of cardstock that I adhered like a little tag under the focal panel.

I used more Pretty In Pink and Bashful Blue DSP for the panels of the sketch, and the Kraft background was embossed using the Polka Dots Embossing Folder (which, if you haven't noticed, is the only one I reach for these days!). I added two Pretty In Pink and one Bashful Blue brads to the bottom corner in the same color order as the onesies, and the bow was created with the Bow Easy!
