I was all excited to sit down and complete the challenge. I got out some wide Scor-Tape and then searched the house for white tissue paper, only to came up empty handed. All I had was some fluorescent colors (scream!!)...lime, orange, hot pink. So out of my color zone!
I settled on some lime green and ended up loving the result! Of course you know which stamp set I picked first! I stamped Gingham & Co. and decided that I was going with a scene theme. My green Washi was perfect for the grass...
My nephew and niece-in-law just had a new baby 2 weeks ago named Hudson! My 5th great-niece/nephew! So I made this card with him in mind using the sweet chick and sentiment from L'il Buddies. I decided to make a sun for the corner and used the heart circle from the set to make the rays :)
I stamped the gingham using Evergreen ink on the lime tissue...but on the dotted pieces I used a turquoise blue ink called "Pool" and it changed the whole color of the tissue but made the dots show through lime! I also made some hot pink washi tape but I think I am going to save it a bit for an upcoming Valentine's Day card.

Kelly your card is just fabulous, love the chick and your washi tape is amazing!
Love the green colors Kelly! Perfect for a sweet baby boy and I love the glittery egg and that great idea for the sun with the hearts around it. Very smart!
So so CUTE!!!!!
What a sweet baby card. I love the washi tape you made.
Kelly, this is a lovely card. I think the sweet chick is just perfect for a baby card. The green Washi tapes look beautiful behind the chick and I like the colors.
Kind regards

Oh...this is adorable! Grass is perfect for the washi and love the heart sun!! Honestly, I didn't realize how easy it was to make, that Claire is so clever!! You are so young to have 5 great-niece/nephews especially ones having babies, they'll love this card!
This is just brilliant. I adore the sunshine hearts, the Washi grass and your sweet chick!
Aww, so sweet! Love that sweet little chickie and the fun washi tape grass, gorgeous and fresh.
Oh, you used two of my favorite WM sets and in such a fun way! Love the chick in the glittery egg and the wonderful sun image. I would never have thought of using that stamp that way. Great washi patterns too-love the bright greens!
Super adorable! There's that glitter again, and the washi "grass" is fantastic and fun!
