Quilted Spring Sweetness

A quilt is the perfect way to welcome a baby.  8 years ago I would have been making a quilt out of fabric, but today it is paper!


I made this baby shower card to match the purchased gift, purple quilted bedding, for the sweet little one on the way.  Now I am hoping that it makes it to the shower on time (fingers crossed for the USPS!).
I did not have any purple patterned paper, so I made my own using Verve stamps.  I took the cupcake toppings from "Seize the Cupcake" and the holly branches from "Merry Wishes" and stamped away, then punched out squares to "quilt".  The scallop base is a freebie svg I found HERE, which I re-sized to 5.5" x 5.5".  I took inspiration from this week's CPS sketch (#211) and added the sentiment.  All the soft purple just makes me think of spring with crocuses and lilacs, so I am entering this one in Verve's Diva Dare Color Me Spring challenge.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Smiles,
Julie
