Baby Wash day

I was at the library last week for my little one's story time. When checking out, the head librarian asked me if I ever made cards for anyone to buy. Of course I replied, what do you need? Turns out she needed a baby girl card. No problem, I'll get right on it.

Well of course there was a problem... I have close to none baby stamps!! lol (or so I thought, realized later on I have one set) After a quick call to my mom to borrow her baby set, I thought and thought and thought, went away for the weekend and still thought of what style of baby card I was going to do. I was hitting a blank spot with the set from my mom when it hit me... I still have the Wash Day jumbo wheel that retired from Stampin' Up!

So I sat down on Monday to make the card. The Try new Technique 191 was to use watercolor pencils and blend the color with Twinkling H2O's. And to have some pink in the card as SCS was going pink this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. No problem, I have H2O's, I can do this challenge... now for my layout... hmmm .... wait, I didn't get to do the Featured Stamper as we were away for the weekend so let me look through ink-e's gallery and see if anything jumps out at me. Here is the card I cased. I changed stamp sets, colors and instead of tearing the bottom, I used the scallop punch.

I ran my wheel over my black stazon ink pad and wheeled across my white cardstock. I actually did this two times on seperate pieces. I colored both images the same but only used H2O's on one of them. The one I used the H2O's on, I cut out each piece of clothing and placed them ontop of the other image using dimensionals. Now before I added the clothing, I used the cloud stencil with Bashful Blue ink and put in the sky. It's amazing how when doing the stencil it doesn't look that great but when you are all finished... WOW... you have a sky!! I love this sky... I could stare at it all day long! On the flowers, I added flower soft adhered with crystal effects.

stamp: wash day jumbo wheel (retired), warmest regards; paper: pretty in pink, black, purple; ink: black stazon, bashful blue; accs: prismacolor watercolor pencils, scallop edge, white gel pen, cloud stencil, flower soft, brads, photo corner punch, dimensions, ribbon

Now you might be wondering what I ended up selling this for to the librarian and I'm almost ashamed to adimt how much as I'm sure you will say i'm crazy! But I sold it for $3.50. Yes, I'm sure she would have paid more for it but as we have discussed just in the post below in all your comments, it's so hard to put a price on handmade items. So do you think I was crazy for charging her only $3.50 instead of $5.00?
