A Gift From Above

Hey, y'all!  It's Jinny here to share a sweet card, boasting two goodies from the TCM Store.  I'm on a team, in my church, for taking hot, homemade meals to new moms and can never seem to have enough baby cards to send with them.  So, I tapped into one of our newest sets, Vintage Baby; paired it with an oldie but a goodie, Sending You Sunshine; and came up with this pretty, little number.

A little ink sponging and spritzing prep the background for lots of layers of color-coordinating, patterned papers, a few of which were machine-stitched and/or separated with foam tape for dimension, as well as the silver-embossed, on a hand-cut, vellum banner, to permit the view of all those yummy patterns, sentiment...

which was flanked by those cute, hand-cut and colored, with pencils and mineral spirits, images.

Some yummy ribbon and trims and, of course, a sweet button and kiss of glitter make this card ready to be packaged with, just as an example ;), a savory pan of chicken enchiladas, Spanish rice, homemade guacamole, tortilla chips, and fruit or lettuce salad.  Mmmm!  I'm making myself hungry.

Thanks so much for peeking in, folks!  Have a creative day!
