You know those cute little tights for girls with the ruffled bums? If my boys had been girls they would have worn those every day, I just think they are such a cute accessory, especially when they crawl. Pink, purple, yellow...I would have purchased every color to coordinate with every little dress! I went through a phase when I accessorized my boys with cowboy boots, those were pretty cute too. Especially when they decided to don them while wearing just a diaper...
The new challenge is up at CAS-ual Fridays and were encouraging you to showcase the highs and lows-create a project featuring scallops! Annabelle Stamps returns for another sponsorship and has a great prize!
My card today features a tried and true layout and highlights a scallop border punch. I pulled out some matching patterned paper scraps, punched them, inked the edges and then adhered just the tops. Stamped the sentiment and wrapped the card with twine. I ruffled the scalloped edges a bit and even bent the top piece outward for more dimension.
With the card all said in done, it reminds me of those cute little tights with the ruffled bums. A dainty card that I feel would be great in welcoming a new addition or to celebrate a little girl's birthday.
Head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog to read more about the challenge, sponsor and prize and to see the lovely highs and lows from the Girl Fridays!

ReplyDeleteI'm with you on little girl tights, the only downside to having boys... but maybe our boys will be ballet dancers? Regardless, love your CAS take on this card, will have to break out some scallops.
ReplyDeleteSaw your card on the CAS post- really liked it. Now I have to laugh when I realize what you're associating it with. :)
ReplyDeleteCAS and so pretty!
ReplyDeletePrecious card! I may have to get my baby ruffled bum tights or onesies.. and yes, in every colour!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly beautiful card, Karen! All those sweet, pink, patterned "ruffles" look so pretty against the kraft! Love it!
ReplyDeleteCan totally visualize the sweet little baby girl bottoms with the ruffles! Adorable card Karen!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love ruffles on baby bums, so so cute! So is this card Karen! So fabulous!
ReplyDeletelove all those pink scallops nestled onto the kraft!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute Karen! And yes, I alwalys say it's probably a good thing that I didn't have girls, because I'd have them in those ruffled tights until they were like 10! They'd hate me, but those things are too adorable! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery darling card!!! Wonderful design!
ReplyDeleteLOL, you crack me up, Karen. I blinked and thought, "Yep, she just said ruffled bums". You know what? They are hard to find! My girls might have had, oh, one pair (when they were little..10 years ago). Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI love your card...very sweet! ;)
Love the dimension you gave those scallops - so pretty and what a nice pattern mix, too!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right--every little girl deserves to have a ruffly bum. They are just too cute! Your card is super sweet, Karen, just perfect for a new arrival or little girl's birthday.
ReplyDeleteLOVE. THIS!! SO. COOL!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I agree - so sweet!
ReplyDeleteMy sons are currently going thru a rainboot phase :>)

ReplyDeleteYes to ruffled bum, I did a layout 3 years ago titled "rear view" lol. Cute cute card!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I was wondering what the title referred to. Now I know! This would make the perfect card for a little baby girl along with a present of ruffled bottoms! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffles! especially on the kraft, perfect!
ReplyDeleteHee. Love those ruffle bums on girls & cowboy boots with diapers! These layers do look that- so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough layers of scallops...love this card!
ReplyDeleteFabulous scallop cards.. I marvel at your designs :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Karen! The ruffles remind me of the frilly diaper covers or tights, too. I don't know how you make such a CAS card look so polished. Awesome!

Hey Karen!! It's been AGES, I know. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I just pinned this card on pinterest. After 17 minutes it's received 2 likes and 5 repins. Thought you want to know that I'm not the only one out there who adores your style.
{I finally caved and joined the world of pinterest. Loving it, but it's not making my ease-back-into-blogland very easy----it's sucking away all of my time.}
Hello! I absolutely love this card! It immediately made me think of the the little ruffle bummed tights! I think it would be a fabulous card for any size or age girl who love scallops, ruffles, pink or just a very feminine card! The craft card stock and the twine made a big difference!
ReplyDeleteI just love the "simple" cards too! Tfs!I pinned it, I think it was to amazing things. Lee
