It’s a New Year!!

Hello!

    Here's a new card to welcome a new baby girl and a warm welcome to all my new blogging friends.

    I enjoy making shaped cards. When I first began blogging, I’d seen a simple ‘U’ shaped bib card on some blog and  felt like making one my own way, when my cousin had her baby, 'Jane'. 

To make this, I drew a ‘U’ shape, and then drew scallops around it using the template of different sized circles as a guide.  Drawing the inner shape was no easy task at all. I have no clue as to how many paper drafts I made and discarded until I was satisfied. Yes, I’m a very determined crafter. If I have pictured a certain way of doing something, I have to do it, no matter what. Well, having done my paper drafts, I cut the outer shape on a piece of folded card stock and the inner shape on a chequered paper recently sent from India, using my only and favorite tool “scissors”. New rub-on transfers sent from Canada were used to embellish it. I had to slightly cut the center scallop in order to make the card stand.  

For the inside, I used paper of a lighter shade to print the verse, made and cut the shape  in the same way and lightly highlighted the scalloped edge with a color pencil.

Many thanks for all your wonderful comments which will certainly impel me to create more. I’d like to add, that soon I’ll be launching another blog to share all kinds of crafts. So, be sure to visit again.
