Inspiration: Simon Says Stamp Monday (Stars & Stripes) + Freshly Made Sketch #394
I was initially planning on pulling some stencils for the Stars and Stripes challenge, but I found the Hello Baby paper pad and discovered I had both patterns in it, so that was the starting point for my design. I also found the Perfection die I had previously bought from Simon Says Stamp. I was really excited when I saw this word because the word is the same in French, spelling and all, so it was the first word and shadow die set I was able to get my hands on. The font is really cute and the size is perfect, too. Although I liked the sentiment layered over the stripes, it felt a little bare, so I went looking for baby stuff and ended up pulling the first set that had come into my mind, Something for Baby with the matching dies. The onesie was just the perfect size. I added a bow of yellow twine and one of the images from the back of the star paper at the top, stapled in place for added interest, and I was done. It's rare that I can make a CAS card, but this one makes me happy.
