Monochromatic time over at Take The Pixie challenge!

There is a fab new challenge over at Take The Pixie challenge and this week the theme is...

Monochromatic!

I straight away thought of one of my all time PDS digis, Zeeba The Zebra from The Wild Collection and made a new baby card...

Okay, okay, I cheated with a touch of green, but leaves have just gotta be a colour!!  I kept it simple by matching this sweetie up with black gingham paper from Cupcake Cards and Craft's Sweet Ginghams Colour Collection, white roses and a big white grosgrain bow.

You can see more Pixie inspiration over at the Take The Pixie challenge blog!


I am entering my card into the following challenges:

    Hello Mary
    I have to say this is a unique Baby Card, using a cool colour Palette for this genre is out of left field, but you have made it whimsy and cute, by your darling image, and the use of gingham PP is a master stroke as one associates this pattern with children. Great Card.

    This is a pure winner. So unusual, cute and lovely. The colour combo is the most unusual one for a baby card. So definite and bold and striking.
