Baby Card for Lily

I made this card for the Michael Strong's Yahoo group "Welcome Baby" May challenge.
I made Lily something fancy to wear… and see what's written inside it!
You can find a tutorial for a baby card here and this is my own interpretation of it.

Ingredients:
Pink pearly canvas textured CS for the card's basis
Dark pink paper
Double layered ribbon and lace with hearts
White Gel pen
EK Success circle punch
EK Success Corner Adorner

I cut the pink pearly canvas textured CS to create the onesie shape.
I added double layered ribbon and lace with hearts for decoration.
I added stripes of the same CS (using its reversed side) with faux stitches, drawn using a white Gel pen, for the sleeves.

Inside the card I added the sentiment, printed on dark pink paper, its corners rounded. It says:

If Mom Says No

Call 1-800-GRANDPA

Do you think it's a fancy outfit for a cute little baby girl?

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed. Have a creative day! Dorly

Baby Girl Mini Album










I made this mini album for my friend M. and left room so she can fit photos of her cute daughter into it.
This mini album is very sweet and girly, therefore it's very different from what I usually design.
Keeping in mind that it's meant for a cute 2 years old girl, I used K & Company's Sparkly Sweet 6x6 paper pad, distressing all the pages with happy, girly colored ink.
The embellishments are in similar colors.
I used Michael Strong's Cloisonné stamps (quite a few of them) with and without EP.
I added pearls and blings wherever possible (not too many, I hope…)
I used shaped buttons, thick felt shapes, paper die cuts, and silk flowers attached with brads and glued 3D.
Between the pages I left room for journaling, on thinner album pages with white papers decorated with border punches and distress ink.
The album pages were attached together with metal binding rings, decorated with ribbons.
On the front cover there's a pink metal gecko for good luck, hanging on the top binding ring.
I added a photo of the front cover in daylight (with a few more ribbons...) so you can see the colors more clearly.
Happy birthday, dear M.
I hope you'll like it… and what's coming with it. Stay tuned…
