Baby Boy Card

Needed a card for a baby boy and this is what I came up with





The colors are a little lighter in real life. Watercolored some stripes, the sentiment is from Hero Arts, the baby is from Stampin' Up, enamel dots from Recollection, tissue paper, thread, done. I quite like how it turned out. Love that "messy thread" trend.

Will enter this in the Muse challenge and the Dream Valley challenge.

I am in the midst of preparing for our annual trip to Bavaria. While I am gone my time on the computer will be very limited and I will probably not comment and post very much. Just in case you would be wondering...

Thanks so much for your visit and for all you sweet comments.

Hugs,
Susanne

This is beautiful! And definitely well suited to the occasion :) I REALLY love the 'messy thread' thing and you've absolutely nailed it! I've had a go at it myself, but it just ends up looking a COMPLETE mess and I have to scrap it every time!

Have a fantastic time away :)
