Antique Baby (Image)

Welcome

I recently became a great aunt again, and I wanted to make a card for the parents of the new great-nephew.  About that time there was a gorgeous image shared over on the Graphic's Fairy Website.


I loved the image and printed it out sized to fit the card.


After trimming the print, I distressed and sponged the edge, stitched it to the next layer, then mounted it onto the blue base card.
 

I varied the the stitching as I went around the image.


I loved the greeting on the image, as the baby in question weighed in at just under 9lb.  I enjoyed making this card, and it came together in a relatively short time.  What took the longest was figuring out which card to use!

    Maxine, The image is so precious and I am quite sure it will be piece de resistance on a scrapbook page. The lily pads and water lilies are super. Thank you for posting this wonderful work of art at Word Art Wednesday.

    Congratulations on your new family member. What a delightful card to welcome the little one. Love how you prettied up the digi image (some of which I've downloaded in the past & totally forgotten I have! That's a great website). The new parents will be so pleased you created a special card for the new baby. It's so pretty. TFS &Hugs
