1st Birthday

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: For a Baby/Child

Here is my card for your inspiration:

We have a young family in our church who's little guy just turned one.  So, I decided to take this opportunity to make a first birthday card for him.  I had several of these stamped onesies left over (probably from the baby's baby shower) and thought it would be fun to create a little background using them.  Luckily, I managed to find the same patterned paper and stamped one more of the blue onesies and the reverse of the paper was the green, so I stamped four on that paper as well.  Because the originals had been mounted on white card stock, I had to mount the new pieces on white and cut them out as well.  It adds a texture to the background for a bit more fun.  I die cut a vellum circle to help the die cut "1" to stand out from the background and stamped "st" directly onto the circle.  I added the sentiment to die cut stitched banners.  I think it turned out so fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
