Hi bloggers! This one is "special delivery" for Patricia H. as she has specially requested it. It's a kind of grown up vintage sort of baby card, but I love the way it turned out. I picked out some vintage looking papers from my stash to use on the background and distressed the edges a bit with my scissors. I added a panel of large newsprint paper (which was the back of the spotty paper I used. Then I added a square of smaller newsprint which is from our
Teresa Collins paper pads. I used a bead of
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue around it and added some
Iced Snow to it. Next I stamped the
pram (from the Bundle Of Joy stamp set by Justrite) in Walnut Stain distress ink and used a wet paintbrush to pull in some of the colour to shade it a bit. I cut it out with an
oval die and added it atop a
Lacy Oval die cut in blush card. I stamped the pram again on a separate piece of
milk card and coloured and cut out just the bow and added it on top of the original with some foam mounting. I tied some
flesh coloured seam binding around the card before adding my focal element, then added a messy bow to the side. I used some
natural jute twine to add a small bow on top of it then finished it with an
antique button and two handmade stick pins. I stamped my sentiment and matching frame using a
coffee Archival and cut them out with the
Vintage Labels Five die set from Justrite Stamps. I used
Spun Sugar to highlight it slightly while still in the die. I added it the the lower corner of my card with mounting foam. Using the
cream felt from the Blossom felt pack, I cut several small
Vintage Florets flowers and layered them up. I used
Spun Sugar distress ink once again to edge the flowers to give them just a hint of colour. The lighter colours of the felt take the ink nicely/ I added a
cream flatback pearl to each of the flower centres and scattered them across my card. I finished the card with a
pearl swirl in the upper corner and a double milk mat with a pierced inner layer. A lot going on but this one just sings to me! I hope you like it too. Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.
The winner of the 2013 Orphan cards is:
Trudy Aylott!!!

I'm not sure about this one It may be the photographs but is it too grown up Most women having babies are in their 20's Many of my daughter's friends don't like sugary sweet but I can't see that they'd like this one....Sorry It makes me feel bad saying this when so many of you love it
I Won This Card! and I Treasure it , it is absolute perfection in every way, lots of details and techniques definitely one to try and copy!

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Sorry Sue , but i do like the pram stamp and the sentiment stamp but the papers are not for me, too dark. I'm surprised by today's card as it looks like that grungy stuff a lot of the younger members of society are going for now. I think i am stuck in the pretty mode for cards.
Cameeli oh how i hope you are better soon. Drink plenty of those Lensip thingies or paracetemol. I think Sally should join you in the lemsip/paracetemol routine. About time that the loved ones that you run after all year long should be running after you both.
Carol B:- I see yo have the same problem i sometimes run up against where it goes whoops and it doesn't seem as if it has posted. I copy all that i have typed now and if it hasn't worked then i just paste it back, but i check just to make sure that it hasn't posted.
Congratulations Trudy to win your very own art gallery of Sues' cards.
See you all tomorrow hopefully,
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue. Love it! This is just as you say Sue...a grown up baby card, it's not a style I would have thought of using for a birth card but as usual you have come up with a beauty:) Congratulations to Trudy, I'm sure you will make a very proud card foster parent. Hope your flight/journey is going/went safely and well Sue. Take care.

Morning Sue and Wilsonettes. Hope you feel a bit better when you have another attempt of getting out of the pit ! If not just have a full duvet day with the odd hot toddie : )
would love to be in the heat of the sun today myself, it would be easier to say what joints DONT hurt, but thats life, and I HAVE to try and crawl out to my craft store as these geeky scientist who loves sport cards are keeping me awake at night and I know I 'should' find something unusual from there - famous last words ! If not, then hit the web !!
This card makes me want to 'start all over again' but at my age, I'll pass, I'll just babysit Trudy's new foster children when she needs a day out ! Well done Trudy, if its the 1st thing you have ever won, then you'll be so excited your heart will pound out of your chest, good on ya gal : )
Well lady friends must get my meds down if I stand any chance of moving today !
Sending love to our Sue (hope you feel a bit better)
And love to you all.
Hugs (Camelli from a distance)

GM Sue - different and I like it! Wowy to Trudy winning ALL the orphans - what a lucky lady... A few days of wet and windy wild weather again forecast here - perfect for crafting and ironing - but getting a tad fed up with it now - still it's better than snow and ice I suppose...

Fab card and really unusual for a baby card but luv it xx congrats to Trudie on her fab win xx GailT xx
What a lovely card - very different from the 'usual' baby pastels. Love the pram stamp and I must get some of the felt; It looks as though it has more 'body' than the floppy stuff I have in my stash!
Sue
Lovely card - really like the script in the dots on the background paper too! Glad that the orphan cards have a new home - congratulations to Trudy!! Susan x
Interesting card, Sue, just stops short of being cute. Love the spotty background paper with the script - you've used an orangey version of this, I think, more than once.
Well done, Trudy, don't think you know yet that you've won - but what a great surprise in store. Jealous? Me??!!

Lol!! Ps, I know this isn't your usual style Sue but what a corker you have produced! Wonderful! xx Love Karen xx
Ps just noticed that you have a problem when you press enter cee bee. It has happened to me too, so I thought I'd try the "refresh" arrow (reload current page) at the top of the page in the bar and it worked! It went on and I didn't have to write it all again! xx Love Karen xx

Hi Sue
My daughter is not quite married yet so alas no grand children . I know it does'nt always work that way round, and I do keep prompting her and saying I really want to be able to play with them before i get too old, and that I will start knitting booties when they are away on honeymoon.( pick a colour, or just have twins ). I know for a fact that she would love a card like this as she is very much into into shabby chic & the vintage look.
Go girl. Lucky Trudy.
Kind regards :-)

Hi Sue,
This was one of my favourite cards and I had hoped to see it on your blog sometime soon. It's so lovely that I'm only sorry I have no reason to make it.
I love everything about the card, the composition, colours, the pram is awesome (a proper one! not the modern contraptions) and your bow and pearl flourish , they all work wonderful together.
Hope you had a good flight and that you are feeling even better than the day before.......
