"It's a Boy!" Card

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope your week is ending on a good note!

Let's see...what have I been up to...

Well, yesterday, we had a surprise baby shower at work. The lady is having a baby girl and we celebrated with presents and lots of pies (strawberry rhubarb, blueberry, key lime and something I didn't recognize). I had 2 small helpings of the blueberry and key lime ones.

Right after the baby shower, one of the managers asked me to make a card to send around for another coworker that's having a baby boy, so that's what I worked on tonight. I have been looking for an opportunity to use the airplane stamp and cloud paper, and here was my chance! I started out with a green plane, but I didn't think it stood out against the teal sky so I switched to red. Red can be for boys, too, right? I didn't want the card to have too much dimension because it was going to be passed around the office and I didn't want things to get banged up. I'm so glad that I had enough chipboard letter stickers for the sentiment so that the card wasn't TOO flat. Hello, happy medium.

Ink: Colorbox chalk ink in Chestnut Roan, Blackbird, Charcoal, Warm Red, Blue Iris, Yellow Ochre.

Whoop whoop for the Moxie Fab link!

And yes, red is fine for boys - good choice for the plane.
