Priscilla's Papercrafts: Sweet Pea

I'm going to a baby shower next weekend. My nephew and his wife are having their first baby, and the theme of the shower is "home grown". I noticed that the invitation (very cute) was sprinkled with tiny vegetables and flowers to fit the theme.

So I was perusing Pinterest to get ideas for a baby card and saw one that just seemed to be perfect. Cindy Brumbaugh had created a very cute card using the Sweet Peas stamp set...and the thought of "peas" felt very "homegrown" to me. So I CASED Cindy's card.

Is that not the cutest? 😍

And I'll bet you'll never guess whether this child will be a girl or a boy...😆

OK, they are having a little girl, so I went with pinks! Surprise!

A card base of Melon Mambo was topped with a layer of Pretty in Pink - such a great combo! On my white layer I stamped the leaves in two directions (it's just one stamp, inked and stamped twice).

Then I added a layer of the Full of Life designer paper; it's a 6" x 6" sheet of multicolors that I cut so just the pink area is on the card.

The Nested Essentials dies made the perfect die-cut to stamp the tiny pea and greeting. And everything is colored with Stampin' Blends.

I finished with a few of the soon-to-be-retired In Color Shimmer Gems (the Shimmer Gems are retiring but new Flat Pearls will be coming in the same colors).

I think my "home grown" card will be just perfect for this wonderful baby shower!
