Lawnscaping Challenge #85 - Summer Color Combo - It's a BOY!

For the current Lawnscaping Challenge I was inspired by the colors we were required to use, of course, but also by the exciting news my husband and I found out a few days ago - we're expecting a little boy!! So, I'm 20 weeks and halfway through my first pregnancy and we just had our anatomy scan this past Thursday, which clearly showed that there's a little boy growing in there! The colors for this challenge screamed little boy to me, and I was excited to make a card to celebrate our news.

 

 

 

While I haven't been able to purchase anything yet from Lawn Fawn's May release (so many cute sets I'm itching to get my hands on - especially the robots now that I have a little boy coming into my life,) I have almost all of their sets released prior to that, many of which have yet to see ink! One of these is Quinn's Capital ABC's, believe it or not! I decided to combine those big letters with Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum, which is technically a Christmas set, but I love using it for baby cards, and also with Sopie's Sentiments and some papers from Lawn Fawn's Let's Polka line to come up with this adorable card:
