Nanny's Little Tweetheart
Yesterday was my Mum-in-law's birthday, and to celebrate the occasion I made her a card with our son's footprint. This cute little footprint was pretending to be the little bird's belly.
This card is painted so there is not much you need to make it:
1. A 13.5 cm (folded size) white card and matching envelope from the Docrafts Anita's Square Card and Envelope set.
2. Some white paper.
3. Some non-toxic, water-washable paint.
4. A thin paint brush.
5. Some paper glue.
6. A pair of scissors.
7. A black marker.
8. Some matte varnish.
To make the card you need to take a footprint of your baby's foot. Use white paper and paint (the colour of your choice, I chose red) to make the print. Let it dry, then cut around the footprint carefully: it will be easier to arrange the final card if the piece of paper with the footprint on has little white space. Paint a bird on your card, making the belly of the bird the same colour as the footprint. When you have everything prepared, glue the footprint onto the bird's belly and add a sentiment - I used "Nanny's little tweetheart". Finally spray the card with varnish and you are done!

Have fun creating!
