Hi everyone - it's time for a new challenge at  Addicted to Stamps & More  and this week Kylie has designed this fab sketch for us to follow - take a look Here is my card What a great sketch this is don't you think and perfect for the Two by Two stamp. This time I've made a card for a baby girl all in pink and brown. I've used markers to colour the image and just used a touch of crumb Cake to sponge the edges. The word 'Baby' is taken from the Rain or Shine set - it says 'Baby Shower' but i just inked up the word 'Baby' and stamped on to my circle.
