This week's challenge at Magnolia Down Under will get your creative juices flowing for sure - you need to make a "Shaped Card" - and trust me when I say I'm in awe of some of the AMAZING work our DT has come up with - even if there does seem to be a strawberry theme no-one told me about - LOL. Go check out the DTs work HERE.
I had a very special little lady in mind when I made my card. A good friend of mine had a sweet baby girl last week - 8 weeks prem and some extra challenges to face - but she's a fighter and I wanted to make something extra special for her. When I first thought of making a baby carriage card I wasn't sure if it would be for a boy or a girl - but the arrival of baby Maeve meant out came the pink papers, flowers and glitter.
I used THIS tutorial for inspiration - such a simple yet effective idea! I used one of my rectangular nesties to take out the "wedge" shape though - instead of cutting with pattern scissors. The DP is from Magnolia.
It's going to be such a fun and inspiring week of fun shaped cards - I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is just SO cute and clever! I love the wedge cutout you made with your nesties--much prettier than just cutting with scissors! What a cute baby Tilda, and beautifully colored! I love the gorgeous flowers too!
