Today's IC website was full of cute and unique baby and baby-related gifts. I chose the wonderful pattern from this cute little bib: http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/coco...by-p-2517.html as inspiration and a jumping off point for my card. Thanks Stef for the great challenge!
The sketch challenge had LOTS of layers, and while I love layers, this layout was definitely a challenge for me. Thanks Roxie for this sketch challenge!!
The background layer started out as Whisper White cardstock, was stamped and clear embossed using Pink Pirouette, Poppy Parade and Versamark, then sponged in Early Espresso. The flowers were all made using SU punches.
This card is for one of my very special Nieces in NJ - she's definitely one of a kind, and quite a girlie-girl so I'm hoping she loves all the pearls and bling!!
Thanks everyone for looking.
Audrey
