French Baby Girl, IC353, F4A133

Photo Details

Poster: Cards_By_America

I traveled to Paris earlier this year and have been on a dreamy, non-stop, Home Decor kick with French Style finds ever since! LOL! Soooo, finding this beautiful French Site for today's Inspirational challenge was super exciting as it brought me back to those Paris-Antique Flea Market Shopping Trips at the Marche Aux Puces... :)

My baby card is for today's fabulous Inspirational Challenge #IC353. I chose to go with the softness of this pink & white, shabby Victorian baby cup; http://www.frenchgardenhouse.com/catalog.php?item=4534. I was also inspired by the Lace borders found on this lovely Antique French Victorian White Lace Pillow; http://www.frenchgardenhouse.com/catalog.php?item=4106

This card is also for yesterday's Free-For-All challenge; Non-traditional, Not-Just-Any-Old-Baby Card #F4A133. The Challenge was to NOT use any baby or baby item images.

TFL & Happy Creating! :)

America, make sure you send the shadow box along so that they can mount on the wall permanently. THIS IS SO STUNNING!
