Hello and welcome again!
Today's Stamp Simply card is a sweet, clean and simple project that is super quick to put together in spite of a very tiny bit of fussy-cutting. I love the unexpected color combo and this cute banner frame (I've used it before, here) and thought it would make a fun card for a father-to-be whose wife is expecting a baby girl in just a few months. (It is amazing that the same papers can have such a different feel from one card to another, one for celebrating the beginning of life and the other for grieving the end of a life well-lived).
Here is a close-up of the fussy-cut stroller. I stamped it in Memento ink directly onto the printed frame, then again onto the pink designer paper. What makes it so fast and easy is that thankfully there's no need to fussy cut the stroller frame, only the bassinet part which is almost all easy, straight line snipping. The only tedious part is the one tiny little curve where the two come together.
I colored it all with Copic markers, adding just a hint of shading to the bassinet part to make things look a tiny bit more three-dimensional.
One of the things I love is that while the colors are not quite traditional, they are completely girlie but still work for Dad! And just look at all those adorable girlie shoes! Aren't they fun?! They're gonna give Daddy just a hint of what he's in for! ;)
