My friend GC was throwing a baby shower for another friend at church, who&#8217;s expecting a baby boy. G asked me to help out with the invitations, so we got together and brainstormed. We decided on yellow, and a hand-carved rubber stamp, to print on the cards with acrylic paint&#8230; GC is even more crafty than me (we are the types who tend to hoard craft supplies) and she had some textile medium to mix with the paint to make it fabric-friendly.
