I thought that this inspiration would be perfect for a baby girl card. So, the following card will be arriving at my friend, the new mom, Jamie's house tomorrow, along with a big pan of Ziti, homemade French bread, lettuce salad, and a Pumpkin Roll.

This is a 3-1/2" square card. I just love to make baby cards little! I started by machine stitching light green-threaded, straight-stitch, flower stems on the floral, patterned paper by Frances Meyer. I, then, hand cut a couple flower leaves, from Certainly Celery cardstock, and stitched down the center of them the same way. A little crinkling and pulling apart of the cardstock, along the edges, gives the leaves a more three-dimensional, realistic look. They were adhered, next to the stitched stems, with mini glue dots. A little piece of Certainly Celery cardstock, punched, across the top edge, with Stampin' Up's Scallop punch and adhered over the base of the stitched stems, serves as the grass. Finally, a few pink, green, and yellow, Paper Studio buttons, dressed up with yellow, embroidery floss; light green, scrap ribbon, tied in a bow; and Best Occasions gemstones, were adhered, with mini glue dots, above the tops of the stitched stems. I, also, stamped the back with a "hello little baby {welcome home!}" sentiment, in Pretty in Pink ink, just above my signature.

Oh! And you've got to go check out Abby's blog for more pictures of her Tuesday Trigger: Velvet Pastels inspired creation.
She did such an amazing transformation on her purchased, advent calendar. Be sure to tell her so!
