Apron shaped birthday card





Made this cute apron shaped card using paper piecing. Hand cut the apron shape and the big pocket. Quilled a kitchenware - rolling pin on a match stick for the first time. Isnt it looking cute :) The big kitchen spoon is hand cut from a 1 cm black strip. Sentiment is handwritten and stuck on  a match stick. Quilled the letters MOM using creame coloured strips. To give the finishing touches, embellished it with ribbons and pearls and false stitched the pp.

Though I love pictures in bright day light, for an exception, I feel the colours in this card are coming out well in yellow light..
