It's May and that mess Spring is in full swing here in the desert. I'd have to say that this is one of the most beautiful months, with heat that's not too out of control, wildflowers in full bloom, and the first sound of crickets at night. I love that sound as I'm falling asleep :).
The Papertrey Ink Sr. Team is revisiting the Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set and it's adorable. I was reminded just how special this set is as I pulled it out to create a couple of cards for my post today.
I used the coordinating dies and paper-pieced a sweet little pair of onesies and hung them from a clothesline to welcome the arrival of twins. Along with Bitty Baby Blessings, I also used the Congrats All Ways stamp set, the You've Been Framed: Oval Mini, and the stamp set included with the Make it Market Mini Kit: Lovely Laurels. I stamped in Classic Kraft, Limeade Ice, Sweet Blush, and Aqua Mist and used a bit of Chicken Scratch Gingham in the background.
My next card uses more paper-piecing and the darling bunny from the Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set. I couldn't resist creating an adoption card, as this is an occasion very dear to my heart :).
I used more Chicken Scratch Gingham paper, flowers from the Make It Market Mini Kit: Wee Folk stamp set, and a variety of Limitless Layers: Circles dies. I used the Scene It Basic Backer die and Sheer Basics Vellum in the background.
The No Strings Attached stamp set was used across the top on a diagonal. I stamped in Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Limeade Ice, Sweet Blush and Lemon Tart.
Hope your May is off to a lovely start! Thanks for visiting.
