Lovely white orchids bloom over a lavender background. It seemed to be the perfect wrapping paper for a gift to a friend in Hawaii who just had a baby.

I chose ribbons based on the tones of the paper and used organza to keep a delicate look. I also created a handmade card using the same paper. For instructions on how to make the card, click here.

Happy Baby, Happy Spring!

My latest video, “Handmade Mother’s Day Card” has been just uploaded to my Youtube channel!
