When I saw spotted this amazing shutter card by Ptit Ange over on Mes P'tit Ciseaux, I knew I had to make one.
Here is my take for my friend's daughter who has just had the sweetest twin boys. I used my NBUS Stampin' Up Sweet Baby set.
... The Card Concept #178 I went with the colours. Hope that is acceptable.
This is my second take with the Everything's Beachy set. (See first take HERE)
I wondered what it would look like from the beach looking towards the sea. Changed up the colours a little too.
Living on a tropical island, it was a must to get Ellen Hutson's Everything's Beachy stamp set. I used the man with surf boards on this card.
Now it's the ladies' turn!
I think it's a good idea to make a selection of sympathy cards so that when you need one, you can choose one from your stash.
I hesitated about distressing a soft blue in the window, but in the end thought I'd keep it more CAS. What do you think?

I gave the challenge of "one of 9 rectangles" quite some thought as I didn't want my butterfly to look trapped in a square. So I decided it should go off the edge.

This time I'm mixing the ink and spritz background with my new Stampin' Up flowers (Flowers of Friendship) coloured with Copics. I used Distress Oxides (Twisted Citron & Tumbled Glass) on the background paint splatter stamps.

One of my favourite techniques is to ink then spritz with water to give that watercolour effect.
