The inspiration challenge this week took us to a beautiful online shop, Green Rainbow. I chose this adorable baby swaddling blanket as my inspiration.
I used the nearest dp I have to the original design. A first for me was to add sewing to my card - I had to hand-stitch it because sewing machines are a mystery to my poor brain cells and I haven't got one (a sewing machine that is, not a brain cell, although who can say?!)
I stamped and paper-pieced the pram and added pearls. I embossed the white card bg with the swiss dots folder then turned it over.
Thanks so much for dropping by!

It's adorable yet quite elegant at the same time! You hand stitch well, I know what you mean about sewing machines -- I actually have two but the threading of them is still quite hard for me...if only I could hand sew as neatly as you do! TFS

What WONDERFUL stitching, Britzi!!! The diagonal stitching in the corners really frames your central image so well. I just love the colors you chose, too. Your inspiration blanket shows through in your lovely card design so very nicely. Beautiful work, Sally!
