I have several colleagues at work who are expecting their first baby and all of them have decided not to find out whether it will be a boy or a girl.
So that can make it a bit difficult when creating a baby card. What commonly happens is that card designers choose yellows or greens for card bases, just to be on the safe side.
This Hoot Hoot Hooray card uses combo of greens: Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron. The Mint Macaron layer was embossed using the Tufted folder, perfect for a baby card (and wedding cards too).
The rocking horse image was coloured using Stampin' Blends and here's where the fun happens. Both pinks and blues were used to color the image, making it perfect for a card that is non-gender specific. Add a simple, sparkly bow and the card is complete:
