Sweet Baby

I love the giraffe image in the Tree-Mendous Love set from Our Craft Lounge. It's such a sweet image and perfect for baby cards, too. I used it as the focal point on my card for today's SCS sketch challenge.

I picked some girly pink patterned paper for the panels. The paper is appropriately from My Mind's Eye's Sweet Baby Girl line. I colored the image in pinks and reds to coordinate with the patterned paper, then trimmed around it. I attached it to a cream panel with dimensionals, then stamped the sentiment alongside the image.

I created coordinating scalloped borders for the patterned paper panels using a Nestabilities die and a border punch. I used the very last of my cream faux suede ribbon (there will definitely be more of this stuff on my next order from i {heart} papers!) along the bottom panel. After carefully arranging and securing the panels, I layered the image panel on top, using dimensionals. I finished off the card with some really sparkly Ruby Slippers Glitz Stickles. Believe it or not, this stuff is even more sparkle-filled than the regular Stickles . . .
