Bringing Home Baby-Day 2 TE Sneaks!

I'm so excited about the Whimsical Wishes set Taylor's team is showcasing today—Bringing Home Baby! Taylor and I designed this set to build baby-themed scenes, but the images work well on their own too. My first card shows the diaper bag and sentiment, It's A Boy! (that's my guess on Taylor's challenge). I kept my layout basic and focused on the image, which I coloured with copics and prismacolors with gamsol.




This line-up of baby cuteness is one image plus the sentiment WELCOME HOME BABY:




Again, I coloured with copics and prismacolors and sponged with chalk ink around the edge while the panel was still in the nestabilities frame. I added half pearls to the knobs for dimension.


Two more! For these I wanted to show how to use two of the miniature image collections. When I was illustrating this set, I intended for these ocean-themed creatures and adorable sheep to hang from the mobile but they can also be framed or used on the quilt in the set (I'll be showing that tomorrow). 





Enjoy what the Baker’s Dozen has to show today...
