There's been many, many times over the past year and a half or so of doing the From Courtney's Closet cards that I've had a couple ideas from the same outfit. Often I think "I really should make a second card!" - well, for once, I actually did it! I mentioned in the original post that I thought about paper piecing a caterpillar. Last night I pulled out my scraps and punches and scissors and set to work. As if it was work! It was a lot of fun to piece together this cute little caterpillar, I must say!! He's mostly made of circle punches, but a few of the elements were cut out freehand - the flower, the hearts and all the various legs & antennae. I considered adding actual machine stitching around the circles to make it look more like the outfit - but then I returned to my senses and opted for faux. :-) I guess I did a good job copying the shirt - Carter just came over and was very excited to see that the card looked just like the shirt. Success! :-) Thanks for stopping by today!
Stamps: sentiment from Stampin' Up!
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana, Pink Passion, white, Wild Wasabi DP, Making Memories DP, Chocolate Chip
Ink: Pink Passion, Chocolate Chip marker
Accessories: circle punches, scissors, Spellbinders dies, Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder, Janome Sew Mini & brown thread, Prima flowers, Making Memories brads
Geepers- this is just adorable! And so is that baby!!! They grow up so fast. I love how you find inspiration in her closet. I have older daughters- no telling what my cards would look like if I crafted out of their closets....... Thanks for sharing your sweet post!
Hi Libby, You are so creative! Both of your catapiller cards have my itching to get at my cards. I always love your use of colors. Thank-you for the inspiration!

There's been many, many times over the past year and a half or so of doing the From Courtney's Closet cards that I've had a couple ideas from the same outfit. Often I think "I really should make a second card!" - well, for once, I actually did it! I mentioned in the original post that I thought about paper piecing a caterpillar. Last night I pulled out my scraps and punches and scissors and set to work. As if it was work! 
It was a lot of fun to piece together this cute little caterpillar, I must say!! He's mostly made of circle punches, but a few of the elements were cut out freehand - the flower, the hearts and all the various legs & antennae. I considered adding actual machine stitching around the circles to make it look more like the outfit - but then I returned to my senses and opted for faux. :-) I guess I did a good job copying the shirt - Carter just came over and was very excited to see that the card looked just like the shirt. Success! :-) Thanks for stopping by today!
