Do not pay any attention to the crooked "baby" sentiment. I always save the negative from my die-cuts so that I will have perfect placement when I glue it into its final resting place. But for some reason I decided to glue this one down without the aid of the template. BIG mistake. It's crooked and I hope that when I finally give this to someone my little boo-boo will go unnoticed!
The challenge this week at Addicted to CAS is Stripes and my layout comes from the sketch at Can You Case It.

This is a very sweet baby card! I, too, recently followed my intuition and made a baby card, but mine was using very weird colors for a baby card (red, gray, black, and white). I love how both yours and mine turned out. Don't question the intuition! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Can You Case It! – Kayla
ReplyDeleteLovely baby card! Love the soft pastel colors. Thanks for joining CYCI! Jeanne
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty Jen and I can see why you thought of a baby card when you saw those soft colours! Maybe you don't need a baby card now, but you never know what's around the corner and it's a useful thing to have in your stash - especially as it is gender neutral! Have a great day! Hazel xx

This week's colors are perfect for your baby card!! I didn't notice the crooked sentiment at all. I think your wonky stitched frame and sequin placement balanced it out!!
