For my card I’ve used Cute Set of Booties.I wanted to stay away from the usual pink for a girl,blue for a boy or lemon if you make your card beforehand and don’t know !So I chose this houndstooth check paper.Initially I was going to team it with chocolate but the hit upon the idea of using kraft card.I paper pieced the booties then coloured the rest with Promarkers,using Metallic Silver for the eyelets.As I felt this was a boy’s card I wanted to keep it quite simple so I added a little ribbon to the sentiment and some piercing to the top corners of the image and sentiment.I’m pleased how this turned out after trying something new.
