Yesterday's design team challenge at Mothers and Daughters Creations was to use the new Imaginisce papers from the Baby Powder collection. I am late in posting, obviously and have actually had to take my laptop to Panera and use their Wi-Fi in order to get my posts done for this challenge as well as tomorrows OCC challenge post! Pretty sad huh??? I should receive my new modem by Monday. Anyway, in the mean time, here is my card ~
The base of my card is Chocolate Chip and then a mat of Poison Ivory cardstock and the the green from this piece of paper HERE. The top pink polka dot piece is HERE and the next strip with the words on it is actually the back side of the polka dot piece. I matted the word strip on Chocolate Chip and cut the bottom using my Martha Stewart Scallop punch/embosser. I added small pearls to each flower and you can fine those HERE.
Both ribbons are from Michael's and the top tab was made using my SU! punch and then just layering the same decorative papers I used on the card and added a small Chocolate Chip strip to tie in with where I mounted the tab. I also added a pearl to the flower on the tab. The giraffe is a coordinating stamp which can be found HERE. I stamped the giraffe using Chocolate Chip in on Poison Ivory shimmery cardstock and then cutting it out using my rectangle Nestabilities. I matted him with for the pink polka dot paper and then the green which I cut using my scalloped rectangle Nestabilities. I colored him using my Prismacolor pencils and then mounted the entire piece on the front using dimensionals.

Ahhh, the internet... what would be do without it! Of course, Panera's always makes me pretty happy- lol! This is such a cute card. I love this layout and really like how you did the tab! I keep looking at this cute little giraffe but I keep telling myself that I have too much and will eventually run out of room- bwahahaha!
