BEST DRESSED BABY
One type of card I seemed to always be short of, is baby cards, and to be honest, I don't have much in the way of Baby themed stamps and papers etc. I set myself a challenge to make a simple baby card using the Jumbo Wheel stamp "Baby Tees", since it really is the only decent sized baby image I have. But I didn't want a string of images.
So what did I do? I paper pieced it instead! I inked and stamped my wheel across a gender neutral DSP, actually, it is the same DSP in the background, called Nursery Nest. Then I simply applied shadows to the Onsie with markers and cut out. I adhered this piece to the front of my card with dimensionals to pop it up off the card base. Then I inked my sentiment stamp from "Word Play" using markers to achieve the two toned colours. I then decided to round just the top right hand corner of my card, for a little bit of interest on an otherwise clean and simple card.
