I know a couple of girls with new born boys – so imagine my delight when I was sent this new range of Pebbles Special Delivery range of papers, stickers and embellishments. So naturally I wanted to make some cards with this range to send out.

For this card I used the star paper in the background, and then cut a smaller piece of patterned paper and adhered it at an angle to reveal some of the dark blue star paper behind it. From the sticker sheet I added the green ‘it’s a boy’ Polaroid frame, matted it onto plain cardstock and inserted a little cut out square from the patterned paper.

The flag stickers are from the sticker sheet and I wrapped them around some toothpicks to give them some dimension and make them look like real little flags. A few velvet flowers and diamante adds finishing touches.

i have a new love for these velvet flowers - simply gorgeous!

I added the oval sticker sheet in the middle of the card as a focal point. To make it look less like a sticker I added some hand sewing around the outer edge using embroidery thread. Two thin strips of paper and blue velvet flowers add a finishing touch for a quick and easy card.

machine and hand sewing together make for interesting texture and patterns!
