Bloggers Challenge - Labor Day!

This week's challenge was in honor of Labor Day - to make either a Patriotic or Baby themed card. I got this CUTE baby face stamp from Tin Can Mail (found it at Michael's). It's ADORABLE. I immediately thought of those baby pictures that they make them into pumpkins, flower pots, or ladybugs. Too cute!

I made the petals by punching cardstock with the Large Oval punch. Just taped them on the back of the circle face (punched out with my new 1 3/4" circle punch). Double layered the grosgrain ribbon for some extra cuteness. Then I chalked over the face with Blush Blossom (can't really see it, but it's over the entire face except eyes), and then Pretty in Pink on cheeks.
The card is pretty big to handle the big baby flower....6" x 6".
Stamps: Moon Baby (Tin Can Mail), Short & Sweet, Print Pattern Background
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink: Black Staz-On, Regal Rose
Other: Vanilla wide grosgrain, Pretty in Pink narrow grosgrain, Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware, Ticket corner punch, 1 3/4" circle punch
