Knitting for Newborns


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:

    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.
