I tried paper piecing thru the printer with a digital image for the first time. I did a Technique Junkies technique called Layer up for the sweet smocked baby outfit- there are 4 layers total using Basic Grey DSP (Eva). I added stitching around the card, and 'pin stitching' around the bonnet oval- if you do fine sewing or smocking, you know pin stitching. That is a smocking design plate or pattern behind the outfit . The buttons are Mother of Pearl. Now I'll need a baby BOY smocked outfit....LOL
(Challenges for my card are at the bottom of the post today.)

Shelly I'm so jealous of those that add stitching to their cards I think it adds such a wonderful element. Yours is terrific
those pink dress and red card is beyond the amazing I just love love love it, this year in saraswati puja I do not sari, and my pic of the precious year is very very hazy, as I did not have digi cam that time.
