This week's colors made me want to make a frog in the overalls pocket card. So I started to make that card and suddenly decided it would be cute and fun as girls overalls with a flower on the pocket. I do like to use the colors in an outside the box kind of way. Definitely unexpected as a baby girl card but I think it works.
To make my overalls I made a white card base and took two size A2 pieces of green and cut 1-3/8" off the top. Then I took both of those strips that I cut off the green and cut them to 3/4"wide. I glued the front of the overalls on, then the straps, then the back. I measured 1-1/2" from the bottom on each side and cut from that mark up to the armpit, then cut horizontal from the end of the sleeve. The card didn't fit into my circle punch, so I had to cut the neckline with scissors.
