Hi Steph, I use the cradle in Tatting Treats by Pam Palmer. It is fun and fairly quick to make, and goes very well on a card. I use a dark dull gold, and it looks scrumptious. I usually keep one on hand, and have given several away. They are very well received.
In one case, it was a second child, so I used a bobbin lace heart, again quickly made, from the Anna December 2002 magazine. This particular heart only takes a couple of hours, and looks very nice on a card. Again, it was very well received.
