Juvenile

Just a quick stop from me today to invite you to the Alphabet challenge. We have a new task for you, and we'd like to see "Juvenile" projects this fortnight. So, without further ado, show us anything that fits the theme of kids and/or young people. 

I for myself prepared a stitched card to inspire you. For its main motif, I picked a cut-out of a little fawn from a Nina Štajner album. I decided to place it onto plain white paper in a way that would allow me to use this wonderfrul green swirl, which would make it look like the little deer is sleeping under some ferns or bushes. For the stitching, I used two different shades of green, but I'm afraid the difference in shades is not very obvious in the picture. Once the branches were done, I added a few more stitches for bit of grass in the lower part of the card, which should make a cozy bed for the little fella. I then placed the white cardboard onto a background with tiny swirls. For doing so, I used 3D adhesive pads, which make the image stand out from the background without any additional layer of colourful paper. I also went against my habbit of adding embellishments (not even tiny white pearls!). 

What do you think of my no-embellishment-CAS-card? Is it too plain for a child, or could it be suitable for some youngster who loves Bambi?

challenges: 

- 613 avenue create: ATG
- a place to start: ATG

- as you like it: favourite bugs, feathers or fur (I'll go with fur usually as furry critters are well represented among my stash in form of digis, cut-outs, or patterned papers. Fur also is a very broad term when it comes to animals, meaning I can use anything from beloved pets like cats and dogs, to well-known farm animals, and "seasonal" ones like (rein)deer. That being said, fur-themed cards can be used for basically any occassion, if only you pick an animal that fits the theme and is liked by the recipient.)
