Baby Congrats

Here’s a sweet card that combines the current Lawnscaping challenge to make a scene with the challenge from the Paper Players to make a baby card with buttons and bows. I used Lawn Fawn’s Plus One set to put this one together in a soft pastel palette perfect for welcoming a baby boy.

I used the set’s stork as my focal image. I shaded it a bit with Spectrum Noir markers, then paper pieced the bundle with some plaid patterned paper. The cutout image is attached to a light blue panel using dimensional dots. To round out the scene, I added a strip of polka dotted grass along the bottom and a fluffy white felt cloud with a baker's twine tied yellow button sun at the top. I topped the grass with a strip of ruffle edged trim to add a fun textured element. The panel is adhered to a pale yellow card base. I stamped the set’s “congrats” sentiment directly underneath panel to complete the design.
