Colour Create Challenge

Challenge 52 - Pastel Lilac, Pastel Yellow and Pastel Mint

This is the first time I am joining this colour challenge. The pastel colours immediately made me think of a baby card. However as I was doing this card I decided to do a first year baby girl card without having 'Happy Birthday on the card.

Patterned Paper

I find that when I make a card I generally start by looking at my stamps. Getting patterned paper to start a card or lead the way of the design of a card is rare with me. So that's why I decided to make a change and start with patterned paper that I received as a freebie when I used to subscribe to the Papercraft and Cardmaking magazine. These are the cards I created.

I kept the cards generally simple because of the stitching detail, I did not think it needed much else other than a small embellishment and a sentiment. That's my take anyway. What do you think?
