Baby-in-a-blanket.....



Here's a couple of baby cards to start the week.I used one sheet of double sided paper for each card (with plenty left over!)along with white textured cardstock from Papermania's Capsule Collection and white glittercard.On the cartridge the gingham blanket holds a rather ugly baby so I cut the blanket on the shift and hand cut a baby (a very simple shape-just head and feet) by placing the blanket on a piece of peach coloured cardstock and drawing around it to create an outline, then I sketched in a baby's head and feet. This was then cut out and the blanket adhered onto it. I embossed a scrap of the pink side of the paper with a baby words embossing folder, which was then adhered to a scalloped panel. The baby-in-a-blanket was then adhered to the panel with foam pads, and then the whole thing was adhered to the front of the card (more foam pads). The inside back of the card was adorned with a gingham, ribbon wrapped and punched border.The sentiment was cut from white glittercard and adhered to the front of the card. Some matt white adhesive 'brads' and a miniature paper rose on the blanket knot complete the cards.
