I purchased this designer paper called 'Baby Plaid' from Paper Adventures thinking it would be a good match for a baby in a pea pod. :-) As I was browsing through SweetMissDaisy's gallery, I realized she had used the same paper with a froggy. So frogs or peas, this paper works great!
I borrowed the idea of putting an embellishment on the scallops from Yvette, only she used Swarovski crystals, and I used pearls. Here's her fabulous card: Sweet Pea in Pink by Yvette at Splitcoaststampers. The baby blanket also has tiny pearls on it. I stamped the flower/flourish stamp from Friendship Blooms (a Sale-A-Bration set) on the Pretty in Pink paper. The stamp reminds me of sweet pea vines and flowers.

Where do I start? This entire card is AMAZING! You're right about the paper...perfect with the sweet pea little baby. I love the stamp image from Whipper Snapper and adore how you colored it! And, then the sweet, sweet scalloped bottom with the adorning pearls...oh my, takes my breath away! Into my favs, for sure!
