Gift Idea : Framed Art

One of my dear friends is expecting her first baby soon, a boy. He's not even here yet, but has a wardrobe that might be twice that of mine, {he's going to be one stylin' little man!} and his parents are all set with the necessities. So, one of her creative friends, still wanting to throw her a baby shower, came up with a fun idea. Instead of onsies, bottles and diapers we were asked to create a little something for his woodland themed nursery. Clever, right? I have a couple of ideas I'm tossing around. Here is one of them... 

My CAMEO + this cute little fox shape + some patterned paper + cardstock and a frame = a unique piece of framed art perfect for a nursery. It might even be fun to use in a play room or even a school classroom too now that I'm thinking about it.  Maybe even on a smaller scale with different animals for the whole alphabet?

I personally like the dimension and texture you get from layering the shapes cut out of different papers. But, if you are in a time crunch, or even if it just seems tedious, you could always use the fill pattern feature in Silhouette studio and create the little guy as a print and cut too. Isn't he cute?

If you have any fun woodland nursery themed project ideas leave them in a comment below... I'd love to hear them :) 

Thanks for stopping by today... and have a wonderful weekend!
