Even though we are heading towards Winter here, north of the equator is heading towards Summer, hence we have a very Spring inspired baby card. This card was inspired by the CAS-ual Fridays Hey Baby! Challenge, The Paper Players Spring has Sprung, and this gorgeous collage of Easter images from Jay Gees Nook Challenge.
I love these shaped bib cards - I first made one when my sons teacher was expecting her first baby. I love that they are so easy to make - similar to a circle card, just not quite the full circle, then use a circle punch to create the neckline. I have stitched around the edge of this card to add some texture - but as you can see I still have my "L" plates on when it comes to driving my sewing machine - but the more I practise the better I'll get at least that's what I tell my kids, so I better start practicing ;) These gorgeous stamps are from Paper Smooches Spring Fling, although the set has an egg-shaped stamp, I actually stamped the tulip to create the top and bottom of my cracked egg, and paper pieced them and the baby chick. Papers are a combination from Echo Park Dots & Stripes, Grace Taylor and Sassafras. The sentiment is from Practicing Creativity Designs.
Hope you are enjoying Spring (or Autumn!) wherever you may be.
