So Sweet
Happy Saturday! 
Here is another design featuring Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie! Keeping with the baby girl theme of yesterday, I used the Lockhart bib stamp.
The wide open space on this bib makes it prefect for the paper piecing technique. I just couldn’t resist doing it again! I stamped the CHF polka dot backgrounder on my Prism frosted pink cardbase. The patterned paper layer was cut and embossed with my square Nestability die.
I stamped the bib twice: once on the patterned paper and once on Stampers Select white. I colored the bib with my Copic markers, cut and embossed with my oval Nestability, masked, and airbrushed some warm yellow around the edge. I added the patterned paper to the bib, matted it with a scalloped oval (Prism spring willow med.), and added some Stickles for a little sparkle. 
I had originally intended on placing the bib panel in the center of the card. As I was looking at the printed words on the paper, I spotted the “So Sweet”, and thought it would make a perfect sentiment to the card! So, I knotted my ribbon (SU moss taffeta) directly below it, (to draw your eye there), then machine stitched all around the edge. I added the bib on dimensional foam squares, then sat and looked at the card for about 15 minutes, LOL!
I just felt like it needed something else, but could not come up with anything! I finally decided on 2 Primas, with a pale yellow pearl as the flower center. I’m still not sure that was the right choice, but it will have to do. 
This card is going off to one of my bosses at the bank, who just had a baby girl. That new little princess is, indeed, “So Sweet”.

This is absolutely gorgeous Trudee! This has to be one of the sweetest baby cards that I’ve seen in a long time. You are such an inspiration to me! Now if only my stamping skills would catch up to my inspired self…that would be something! LOL!
