One of the guys at work his family is expecting a baby boy soon-ish. and this boy will have 4 older sisters so, they are all a little excited about that fact so, I have been poking around in my stamps trying to come up with an card idea for the shower gift. ( I have time) and I started with this Hooked on Stamps cowboy baby image stamped with some Versafine sand dune ink on Arches hot press (smooth) watercolor paper and started adding paint to it.
last night
and then after work today I added a few more layers. The skin tone is a little more pink than this in real life but, I just could not get it to photograph well.
I recently received a happy mail box from Unity Stamps and this printed paper pack was in it. (and on the table) so it influenced the blue hat band as well. The postage die cut frame was on the table from probably the last time I cut scraps and it happened to be close enough in size that I only had to trim the painted panel down a sliver for it to work. I did leave some space to the right of him to add a sentiment later but, my mind is blank on this because, this baby is obviously not a newborn and so, it may work better as a birthday card instead some time. (maybe for an old cowboy) I'm not real sure yet. So, I am thinking it will be back to the drawing board for me. I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping by.
