I wanted to create something special to wrap up my gift for my friend's baby shower. I had been playing around with my drawing program drawing some other things that I will be posting soon ;) when I came up with the idea to make some custom background paper to use in wrapping the baby shower gift. My friend's favorite flower is a daisy, so after playing around some I ended up making this daisy background paper. I drew the daises and played around with the fill and shadow effects until I was happy with the result. Then I got the idea to use the baby's name "Kailey Leah" as the stem on the flowers. I think you can see it better if you click on the picture to enlarge it. I made the layout a full 8-1/2 x 11 inches and set my printer to borderless printing, so it printed all the way to the edge (SO cool!!!). Then I played around some more and made the daisy in a few different sizes to cut out for the package embellishments and tag. My friend scrapbooks (of course..doesn't everyone??) and I am going to convert these drawings to PDFs to send to her so she can print out the pages to use in her baby's scrapbook. She has another daughter that will be turning two next month, so I will be making another set of drawings only with her other daughter's name as the stem.
I printed the background and daisies on SU! Whisper White. I used the Martha Stewart eyelet border punch on the edges. The bag topper is a full sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 card stock scored at 3-1/2 inches from each end. I folded on the scored lines and used my Fiskars paper trimmer to cut out slits for the bag's handles. I bought the frosted bag and violet tissue at Target.
