My card is for today's Inspiration Challenge and OCCC challenge. I took my inspiration from the quilt on the bed. Thanks Lori, that is a beautiful piece!!! For the OCCC Challenge today Cindy had us use Basic Grey paper. I love Basic Grey so this was a real fun challenge for me!!! Hanna's shirt and socks are paper pieced in one pattern, her pants in another and the present in a third. For the ribbon I used Cryogen Poison Ivory which is what the main card is as well. I thought it would be too much for ribbor or just about any other embellishment so I decided to paper pierce the corners, one of my favorite techniques!
Thanks so much ladies for the great challenges today!!!
And thank you so much for looking!!!

The paper pieced blouse/top looks wonderful with the quilt blocks. Beautiful card!
