Mark’s Finest Papers





Today is day 2 of MFP's Blog Hop. I am featuring the set "Oh Boy It's a Girl".
Don't you just love this darling elephant. I inked the elephant and the sentiment with Palette Noir onto a purple plaid and purple dots dp respectively, and line cut the image. All of the dp on this card is from DCWV/Baby Boy. I used bright white cs for the matting.
To add some pizazz I inked the diaper pin with Palette Noir onto the white dotted dp and line cut it also. I tied on a pretty ribbon knot and threaded the diaper pin thru it. I think it's looks cute.
Happy blogging everyone, Nicky
