I decided to create a Tiny Toes birth announcement featuring the beautiful Oakberry Lane stamps, dies and blossoms shaping mold.  I also used the yummy Lettuce Entertain You Prills.  

I started out by stamping and coloring the flowers and the leaves using yummy Wendy Vecci Blendable Inks.  I also blended some ink along the edge of a white piece of cardstock and then stamped some leaves around the edge.  I colored the leaves lightly with watercolor pencils and then flicked some of the watercolor on the page to give it a bit of splattering.  I then used an orange Copic color to add color to a white edge of a piece of cardstock so that I could mount my leafy panel to it.  I mounted the panels together and machine stitched the edge to finish this panel off before attaching the leaves and flowers.  

 I attached the leaves (a mix of stamped and diecut and just diecut leaves and then attached the flowers here and there.  I made sure to attach some yummy prills to make the flowers come to life.  Before mounting on a white panel, I attached an aqua ribbon bow and some added pieces of ribbon.  

I printed off a cute set of tootsies using my Polariod Zink and then curled the edges before tucking the photo into my flower spray.  I attached this panel to a white panel and then to a light aqua card base and voila...done.  

Thanks for hopping over!  Please check out my fellow Alumni teamie Vicki Dutcher.  I'm attaching the full hop line-up below to help you on your way.
