Twins

Our neighbours opposite (the same neighbours that had their telephone wires cut  last month when next door was having their BT cabling replaced have just had a new arrival. Well two actually as it turned out to be twins, one of each.!! We have been over to see them and gosh you forget how tiny babies can be. Our daughter was born 6 weeks early and for her 1st month was in dolls size clothes  (Anyone remember the Tiny Tears Doll in the 1970''s? They were the only clothes to fit especially the booties).All 0-3 mth clothes fell straight off her.
Anyway this is the card I made for the birth of the twins. I tried desperately to find out the neighbours choice of names before they were born but they were staying  tight lipped so couldn't add their names to the card!!

I made a 3 fold card by matting two card blanks together. The front  of the card has a 3d panel of baby pattern paper (a magazine freebie from way back)  adhered to white card an then die cut using spellbinders Marvellous Squares, then two ribbons tied together (pink/ blue) to create the bow. Corner pieces are silver stickers from my stash.

Card then opens up to reveal a pre printed digi image by Pink Gem which I have matted onto pink spotty paper by Paper Mania  from their Chatsworth Vintage collection Linen Texture.

The right hand flap has a green spotty paper (from the same collection) and another  pre coloured digi from Pink Gem. 

 Here is the card opened up to show the message to the new parents on the centre panel.

By the way . Say hi to Ella and Henry!!
