It's Saturday peeps, which must mean it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week the lovely Emma is hosting the theme which is "New Beginnings", what better theme to start off the New Year.
So I figured a baby card would fit the bill along with a recent order I needed to fulfil and as is so often the case nowadays they knew it was a little girl well in advance.................I really do have mixed feeling on that, call me old fashioned, but to me waiting for the birth to know the sex was always part of the excitement.
I used the pretty little bootee image from A Passion for Stamps printing it first onto the base card and again onto some DP from stash, but pretty sure it's Daisy Bucket. After cutting out the bootees, I ran a ball tool over the back of them to give a bit of dimension and added some lace. The background is embossed with a Sizzix folder, a bow using seam binding and the sentiment is Darkroom Door.
Happy New Year to you all and I hope you enjoy whatever you have planned this evening.
Happy New Year to you all and I hope you enjoy whatever you have planned this evening.

Hi Brenda,
LOVE this card ..... especially as I have a baby girl on the way too ( I know you unsure how you feel about knowing, we could'nt decide if we wanted to know as we liked the idea of the suprise .. Now I am glad I know, we already talk to her using her name, so we already feel really connected to her)
Love the bootie image .... I think I made need that image for future refrence !!! Also The embossing and fabulous ribbon just finish it off perfectly.

Such a sweet card! I am with you about knowing beforehand what sex baby you're having, unless there is a medical reason to know.
Hope you have a very Happy New Year and most importantly, a healthy one!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Brenda Thank you for all the inspiration over time, looking forward to 2012 with hopefully more of the same. XOXO Zoe
Your card is soo pretty! I love the texture and dimension you added.
What better beginning than a new life!
Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!!! :)
The dimension of your little bootees is terrific especially with the little lace snippets to decorate & I love the way that seambinding falls embellished with the button & twine. Lovely touch with the matching buttons of the bootees. I like teh effect of the contrasting embossing & debossing too.
Hope you enjoy your evening too.
