Mo's Challenge #78

New Beginnings

This week's challenge is called, "The Start of Something New." This will be open to your interpretation, but it would be wonderful to include an explanation if it's not as obvious as a new home, baby, job, marriage, etc.

 

My card uses an image from Mo's set of babies, "The Diaper Crew."

There are six adorable little babies in the set, all in different poses.

I made a quilt background, roughly following a tutorial I found on Splitcoast Stampers. It was so much fun and a great way to use up some scraps! I used 1" squares instead of the 3/4" squares the tutorial called for, because all my cards are 5" x 7", and I wanted it a bit larger.

I wanted to do a color combination that wasn't a traditional choice for a baby card.

I think I managed to do that!

I'll certainly be making more of these quilts!

  The satin ribbon was hand-basted and ruffled before adhering it to the card.
