Pink Elephant Day...

This week at The Pink Elephant it's time for one of Robin's amazing sketches. Sketch week is definitely my favourite of our challenges as Robin's designs are alway such a breeze to work with.

I decided to use the sketch to make a new baby card. Several of Laura's colleagues at work are having babies and one of them is definitely a girl so this should fit the bill nicely.

The pram is a stamp by a company called 'Impressions' - I think - it was in one of my bargainous ebay job lots and the name on the wood is quite faded, but it still stamps beautifully so no worries. I decided to do some paper piecing on the image and give my Promarkers a well earned rest on this one. I think the design is one that suits itself to paper piecing and it was fun to do.

The papers and card are from Kanban and the glitzy heart, gems and ribbon are from my stash. Do pop over to The Pink Elephant to see what my team mates have created and hope you have time to play along with us too.

Very cute Ann! I love that little bit of shimmer you used for matting, gives it a different look.
