Firstly, I was asked to create this birthday card by a regular customer who loves designs with cut-outs. She wanted me to quill a train on the inside of the card that would show through at the front, so I did what she asked, adding a single cloud of smoke on the outside face of the card to link it all together.
And then I had another go at the 'Baby Boy' design, after some friends of ours recently became grand-parents. This time I have made the bear smaller and the balloon bigger (just as I had planned) and I think it works much better than the earlier version. (Apologies for the shadow on this card - I had to take the photograph in artificial light.)
Hi Philippa! Just found your blog and going to follow you. Very cute designs! Wanted to say that you're doing a great job =) Be inspired ;)
ReplyDeleteHi WhiteRacoon and welcome to Quilliance! Thanks for your kind comment. I've checked out your blog, and I think your work is great too (especially the quilled racoon!)
ReplyDeleteThat train is great and I agree that the bear looks better smaller. Nicely done on both.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration Philippa, I am long due making a card for my son's friend.
ReplyDeleteYour little blue bear is simply adorable! Reminds me of Bear in the Big Blue House that I used to watch as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yuenie - I'm so glad you like him!
