Baby Boy TMR

 Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for 
 
I haven't made a baby card in a couple of years, and was thrilled to make one. I had a couple of stamps, but went to a colouring page by someone I have been a follower of for years. I just love her images, and I had a choice in my files, but decided to go with this cutie. Also, we have a local singer comedian named Max Boyce, and he got the crowds going by saying oggie oggie oggie. This image has a similar saying? So I had to go with it.
 
I print and cut the image with Silhouette on watercolour paper. Then coloured it with Distress Inks. I had a design in mind with a heart, but it didn't work out, so I print and cut a heart with the "oogie oogie" on it, again with Silhouette. I had this "It's a Boy" stamp for a long time, so stamped it onto the heart. Next, I layered the 2 layers of the baby and 3D'd it onto the heart. I used a die heart and sentiment and added it with a split pin, don't know when I used one of those last either.
 
I was going to leave it at that, but for some reason it didn't look right, I die cut some textured card, and ink blended it. Then embossed it with a background I had made with Silhouette an age ago. I cut 3 layers of the hearts and then glued them together. Next, I embossed the layers onto the inked background.  The colour isn't quite right in the photo, but near enough.

Delightful baby card....maybe he will be a rugby player as 'oggie oggie oggie' is always shouted at the end of a rugby match played in cornwall .........The Cornish call pasties 'oggies' and traditionally always had one at the end of a match :-)
