Baby

 As I write this post, it is storming at may home, complete with thunder and lightening.   Considering a nearby town was completely evacuated yesterday due to a wild fire started by a mower sparking on a rock, this is a great event!  We have a burn ban and are Extreme fire hazard alert.  76% of my state is under extreme drought alert, including where I live.  I have never been so happy to see rain.  The temp went from 103 degrees to 75 degrees in an hour's time.  I spent a good while on my porch this evening.

I have a card today that I made for my friend that is pregnant.  She has made it through her first trimester and I feel that she is having a girl.  So I made this card for her.  Don't worry, I have plenty of time to make a boy card if I need to since she's not due until my birthday in February.  I was inspired to make it, and just went with the feeling.

I used the sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  The stamp is the C.C. Designs Ima Butterfly.  I paper pieced her using Wild Rose Studio In Love with Japanese dp and AC Specialty Paper silver foil (for the wings).  I used Copics on parts not paper-pieced.  I used Memento, Versafine, Stazon and Brilliance inks.  The flower is constructed from an MFT die set.  Pearls are from Memento and ribbon is from Papertrey, as is the sentiment, which was cut out with another MFT die.

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
