Good Morning! It's Friday, which means I am finishing the final preparations for my "Brides & Babies" class here tomorrow! Here's one of the projects using the retiring In-Color, Peach Parfait. At first I was hesitant to use this color for a baby card, but now I think it actually works in a gender-neutral way! Take a lookie and tell me what you think:

It may lean toward the femine side with all the scalloped edges, so perhaps it falls into the category of "I-don't-know-but-I-think-you-are-having-a-girl"! The inside uses one of my favorite verse sets, the retiring "God's Blessings"!

At this class we are making three wedding and two baby cards. Here's the second baby card, using the retiring "Pear Pizzazz" for the base and the retiring "Cheerful Treat" Designer Paper:

This little sweetie also has the retiring "Finial Press" embossed on the Pear Pizzazz base, and the pudgy little back leg is made with the retiring "Heart to Heart" punch. I used the same punch for all the hearts on this card,including the one that is part of the pacifier!
I had two challenges in making this card. First, the retiring "Blushing Bride" cardstock is too pink, Very Vanilla is too washed-out, and we no longer carry the already retired "Blush Blossom" cardstock, so I ended up sponging Whisper White with Pink Pirouette Classic ink so my baby would be slightly pink and very healthy! The second challenge was how to make the baby face not look like a baby snowman, and I "hope" I have succeeded, you tell me! lol!

I'll be back tomorrow with the three wedding cards we will be making at this class! Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
