Baby Blue Rocking Horse

I am taking a break from the Happy Bears and have made a Baby Boy card.  This project is to support the challenge at As You Like It Challenge where we'd love to know if you prefer Digi or Rubber.

Although I do love my digis, (great for storage and sizing / flipping directions etc), I am really getting back into the proper inky stamping which is where I started out.  I love using my DI reinkers too, which I prefer painting on thicker card which won't go through my printer.  I also have a small addiction to some of the rubber designs, including Lili of the Valley which is featured on today's card.

Sheesh, girl, you are rocking the reinkers! Seriously, your coloring is out of this world. Love how you create such vibrant colors in the shade and then blend them out so softly. Thanks so much for playing in our Make the Day Special challenge this month – I hope we'll seen you again with your creations next month!

This is so absolutely sweet and adorable! I am such a fan of your work because you manage to combine classic elegance with all of these "ahhh-inducing" images! I can't help but smile at the warmth of your projects and this is no exception. Great textures and dimension with the flowers and I love the way you've "framed out" the image. The background is fabulous, too! Thanks so much for supporting the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
