Regular visitors to my blog may know two things about my daughter- first, she works as a midwife, and second, she likes to give me real-life cardmaking challenges , usually at short notice.
On Friday she asked me to make a thank you card for a woman who knits baby hats and donates them to the hospital.
I immediately thought of this knitter image, which is a Pure Innocence digi. I coloured it with alcohol markers and paper-pieced it with a Basic Grey paper, which I also used to cover the base card. ( I actually love how the paper-piecing turned out on the shoes). The sentiment was made with stamps by Waffle Flower and I embellished with buttons.
I'd like to enter:

The perfect stamped image for the thank you card! How sweet of the lady to knit baby hats! And, you must be very proud of your daughter being a midwife...how awesome!
What a perfect card for her Marina. Love it.
She obviously knows that you can always come up with something terrific and here's the proof!! Brilliant!
Never a challenge too hard for you:) what an adorable and perfectly fitting image! And she looks so cute in her paper pieced dress. The bold sentiment is an eyecatching, great detail. Sweet embellies too.
