This may just be the only card I have time to create this week, and mostly because I was able to deconstruct parts of Sofia's sewing party and re-fashion them, based on this inspiration photo:
I mean, how perfect that Nichole picked a photo of fabric, in pretty much the exact colors of the sewing party? hee.
I turned a 7-year-old's party into a sweet baby card:
I did leave off the bolder pink color, and added some krafty goodness. I created the fabric lollipop flower by stitching different sizes of pink gingham circles together, and added a felt "flower fusion" shape and a button top layer. Other touches I love: the damask pattern on the banner, the clothespin embellished with a paper bow, and the sweet little "baby" tag.
In other-party news, I'm chugging along for Thomas' monster party this weekend and realized that I based the entire party around 2 stamp sets: PTI's "newsprint" background, and My Cute Stamps' "eeek! a monster" set. How awesome is that! I can't wait to show you everything :)
Thanks for peeking!
AMAZING Elena! Wish they did top 3's beacause - without having seen the others yet- I know this would be my top 1 card!
