BTW, a {big} thanks to the kind and patient rep at Nikon for helping me to reset my camera...apparently it was just a little glitch that sometimes occurs in D90 cameras. I'm just so glad it wasn't something I did!
Just a few notes on this card:
1) Not only did I stamp the expectant mom on the white cardstock, but I also stamped her on the red and white polka dot Papertrey paper. Then, I ever-so-carefully cut out just the dress and glued it to the white cardstock. Too fun!
2) I just realized that I used white cardstock instead of vanilla. Oops! The vanilla dot (below) doesn't show up very well on my monitor, so I think I went with white because all of the dots are surrounded by it.
3) Chocolate brown wasn't part of the mix, but I felt like I needed an additional color to mat the brown stamped image.
4) I don't own an oval scallop punch, so I pulled out my old-school scallop scissors (which I haven't used in forever) and cut around the white oval. It's not perfect, but close enough.
5) When I had finished the main panel of the card, but not yet adhered it to the kraft cardstock, I decided it needed just a little something more. It was too clean-cut, too straight-laced, too boring...so I roughed up the edges with my scissors, inked the kraft cardstock with brown ink, and placed the main panel on the kraft cardstock using foam dimensionals. Better!
