"It's A Baby Boy!" Card
They say that you see a whole new world thru your child’s eyes. Isn’t that a wonderful experience making it more worthwhile rearing your own child?
With the birth of a child, God gives us the opportunity to have a hand in the formation of a new person from your own flesh and blood. Introducing him/her to the world makes us more human akin to human nature.
As I’ve remained single, I could only marvel at thoughts of the above-mentioned. Though not yet yearning for my own child, when asked to make cards for new baby, I took this opportunity to think of wonderful thoughts on having a child of my own – preferably a son for my 1st born. This is the inspiration in the creation of this new baby card and how I would imagine life would be having a SON, a BABY BOY to raise in the family.
May you find inspiration in the creation of this new baby card through the tutorial provided below . . . with happy thoughts included.
Happy crafting!
