Baby Card

Hi! Back again with another challenge entry. The challenges at Beyond Grey and Catchy Challenges really got my creative juices flowing!

So here is another entry for Beyond Grey's BGC #27 - Fetch That Sketch



and Catchy Challenges, March Season IV



This time round I decided to make a quilted card, out of all the scraps of paper that I cannot bear to throw away.


The card size is 6 x 6 inches. I have used dark coffee brown card stock as the base. Other papers are a mix of handmade and pattern papers.


After I finished the card top with zigzag stitching, it reminded me of a small baby blanket. So I decided to make it into a baby card. Hence the baby feet on the tag.

Originally, I had planned to stamp a sentiment welcoming the new baby. But I feel the cute little feet say it all.

Now I am thinking of making similar cards in other color combinations.

Love,
Nan

    1. Thanx Sunehra. Actually I pasted them on a piece of scrap paper and then went over the 'seams' with the stitching. Pretty similar to what I do when I quilt with fabric

    1. Thanx Ebba. The baby feet are simple enough to make; the biggest challenge is the tiny toes!
