Telling it how it is!

This is the most realistic and accurate stamp I've seen for a birth congratulations card! It's one of the wonderfully useful sets of Studio G mini-stamps I won from the lovely Enfys at Going Buggy a few months ago. I decided to get the patterned nightdress and housecoat look with a bit of paper piecing -  something I regretted when I realised just how tiny the pieces were. But a pair of fine-tipped angled tweezers were my friend and everything ended up where it was supposed to be. The buttons used as a finishing touch were part of the freebie with the current docrafts magazine.


I'm sharing this card with:
