Welcome back to a Friday Free for All at Flourishes with another peek at this month's New Releases! I had the perfect set-up this month. As I mentioned in last week's 365 Photos, some friends of ours just had a baby girl. She was five weeks early, but outside of a little jaundice, perfectly healthy, and beautiful. She arrived right on time for her own Baby Shower last weekend, and I knew exactly what I would make her, a Name Frame from our new Letters in Blossom Set. Lots of pictures today!
I also knew what her little room was decorated as, so I knew how to color it all up too....here's a vinyl wall decal that they're putting up in her room....
Isn't that a gorgeous robin's egg blue?
And here's the name frame I made for her (you can click on photos to make them larger if you like).
I inked the letters of her name onto watercolor paper and then watercolored them with our new Letraset Aqua Markers. I washed a soft blue/green background and then added the pretty little bird die-cut (SU) and embossed it with the Fireflies Embossing Folder. The frame was a nice simple one from Ikea, I love the beaded accent.
Just that embossing detail alone on the bird takes it up a notch don't you think?
One more close-up of the letters.
I added the tealy ribbon as a simple accent and wrote her birth details in Multi-liner.
Now here's the card I made to match for her using our adorable Hello Baby set.
Copic Colored and paired up with MME's Fiddlesticks paper. I think one of the greatest things about this hobby is that you can give such special personalized gifts to someone. Her mama, and the whole baby shower thought it was wonderful. That always makes me feel good :)
And here I am at the baby shower with this beautiful little girl. It was delightful to hold her! None of my kids were ever this small!
Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team this Free for All Friday....and remember, TODAY is the last day you can purchase the June New Release Bundle at a Discount!
