Jackie's gorgeous sketch reminded me of this gorgeous die-cut window, and I honed in on the pink and yellow checks of the third tie from the right for my colour and pattern inspiration. I repeated the window dressing checks with papers from Authentique on the Mama Elephant teddy's tummy to tie the design together. I love the way the stitched teddy ties in with the stitched rectangle from Lil' Inkers. I thought black ink would be too stark for a baby card, so I stamped the Mama Elephant sentiment using Hero Arts Cuppa Joe.

Such great fusing this week: the window interpretation is brilliant, with the plaid peaking out AND adorning the bear's belly... mwha! (that's me kissing my fingers) and I spy a LID die, too!
