Baby Pram card

Hello Everyone,

This is the first post I am setting to appear on a particular schedule, so fingers crossed it worked! 

Today's card was made for the Divas by Design challenge blog, where I am one of the Design Team members. A great challenge this week - Shape it up! When I read the challenge theme, the first thing that came to my mind was a card I saw somewhere ages ago. I always wanted to give it a try, and I finally had the opportunity to do so! 

I believe if I make this card again, I will add more embellishments and cute baby-related stuff, but since this was a "prototype", I decided to keep it relatively simple. The card stands on its own, it's decorated on both sides - which makes it pretty cool!, and even though there isn't an awful amount of space to write in it - I think for many it will be enough :-) Now that I think of it, half of the card would work greatly as a tag attached to a gift! 

All I used to make this card were Spellbinders scalloped circles & circles, and then some papers and a border punch. You could also use lace - I tried it, but it's not really my style, and so I wasn't too happy with it... I personally think the punched edge looks less messy... 

What do you think about the card?



 Here you can see both sides of the card:


I am entering the card into the following challenges:
Creative Creations - For a child
My Mum's Craftshop - Spots or stripes

Happy shaping!
