This is for IC229 and Green Rainbow web site provided our inspiration. I was inspired by the circles on this baby baby blanket. http://www.greenrainbowshop.com/mm5/...o-kids_bedding At first I was going to match the colors and the circles and then I remembered a retired SU designer paper that would be perfect to use. I thought the Hedgehog Umbrella from Stampavie would be perfect image to use since the umbrella has a round top. I wanted to carry the circle theme over again by using a round die cut frame but wanted to add contrast by leaving the outer lines of the frame square. I painted my image and cut out to pop up over the pure cream paper. The image and the frame are popped up to the same heightfor dimension. Marga, one of my Stampavie teammates sent me the Daisy Bucket Design sentiment and I thought it was perfect since the hedgehog was hold out a bouquet of flower to give someone. The multi loop bow was the perfect finish for this project. If you would like to see my multi loop bow tutorial just click on my blog post. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kitti...orials.html#tp
