It's Farmer's Market day tomorrow, so I've been busily creating to stock up a little. I had a few people ask for baby cards last week, and I was lacking in that department, so here I am making a few for my stash.
I'd seen a card in a magazine a while back that did this paper piecing with the top note and have been meaning to do it. Over at Create With Connie & Mary there's a colour challenge this week that works perfectly for both purposes. The colours a similar to the pallet used in Stampin' Up's Storytime DSP. I haven't purchased a package of that paper yet, but it's moving to the top of my list.
I made a baby card using another of the images from this set (Storybook Friends) a while ago but thought the little bunny with the wand was too cute to pass up. On a funny note - it actually says "Surprise!" underneath the image - which I thought would be HILARIOUS on a baby card, but something tells me it might not be so funny to everyone else, so I suck with a generic sentiment instead.
I love the quilted effect of your embossed top note layer. I think it's perfect for a baby card. And I like your idea of adding the surprise sentiment! You might get some good chuckles! Thanks for joining us at Create With Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteThe top note looks fabby, and yes - sometimes it's a surprise, too funny :)
