Welcome New Baby!

In early April my boss became a grandmother for the first time.  I respect my boss and like her taste, although it is generally more sophisticated style than I employ so I really struggled with this card.  I knew that she would not enjoy a "girly" card or even lots of pink and purple.  When I stumbled across Prima's Madeline Collection, and in particular the paper "Beautima", I finally became inspired.

I paired up the paper with Mo's Fairy Kiki:

I printed the baby's name on vellum and quickly embossed it with clear embossing powder right out of the printer.  I stitched the name on the very front of the card and kept the embellishments to a minimum - stitching and dazzling diamonds.

The image is coloured with copic markers - of course!  The card is actually an easel, with a beautiful sentiment / wish for the new baby girl:

I printed/embossed the baby's birth date, weight, and length.  My congratulations for the new grandma are actually on the very back of the card, out of sight when it is opened as an easel card.

Isn't that paper delicious?!  I have to go back to the store for another sheet!  Hard to imagine but that was just one sheet!  The brown cardstock is Bazzill and the blue is Stampin' Up!

Fairy Kiki will be entered into the following challenges:
