Little Additions baby

My husband told me that he was taking our youngest son shopping this morning. He said it with such a ridiculously casual air that even if I didn't know that he loathes shopping, I would instantly have known he was off to search for my birthday present! Since the rest of the family disappeared with various friends I was left home alone and there are no prizes for guessing what I got up to! Come and have a look:

This is my card for today's Less is More challenge to make baby/children cards. The thing that really takes my breath away when I see babies is their purity - that astonishing skin! - and this card is all about that. I stamped the cot in versamark on Naturals Ivory card stock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder before cutting it out with my sharp paper snips. I love the curvy shape of this cot from Little Additions.

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Grey on Very Vanilla card stock and trimmed into a banner. I added the pretty in pink heart, punched out with my Owl punch, just below the little heart on the cot.

Here's what you'll need to make today's card:

Making baby cards always makes me feel wistful for my own lovely babies. I once spent about an hour wafting a sheet up and down on the bed because it made my baby daughter giggle. It was her first real laugh and it was the most wonderful sound I'd ever heard in my life. 

I can't wait to see the baby fest that will be the Less is More gallery today! See you soon,
