Baby Blocks Background PaperCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

The background image was printed on 160g paper, cut to fit a tentfold A5 bright blue cardblank and mounted on this with glue stick. I cut a 5cm strip of blue card and punched a decorative border down the long sides and trimmed to fit the card and added with DST. Using resized alpha blocks from cup281466_173, I attached "Hello" down the strip with 1mm foam.

I printed 2 teddy toppers, cup335573_1749, glued one on the card front and cut out the head and heart of the other for decoupage, which I added with 2mm foam. I added a sparkly red heart and a white pearl heart to the bear, appied cristal stickles to the letter blocks and glossy accents to teddy's eyes and nose. The card was completed with a decorative silver border and 3 tiny bright blue gems to alternate corners. A good basic baby background for the craft box.
