Today's card is one I made for my best friend's sister who has just had a baby boy:
and the inside:
The image is by Pink Petticoat and I paper pieced the pram and just very lightly coloured the rest of the pram and parasol and added a slight colour to his cheeks. The gingham paper is Pink Petticoat. I used Martha Stewart Cherish PATP and then embossed it with a hearts embossoing folder. The heart bows are Memory Box. I have used Spellbinders Nesties for the image, sentiment and mats. The stork is Spellbinders. The sentiments are computer generated. Ribbon, pearls and twine from my stash.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Digital Tuesday - Hearts
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown - Heartstrings
Artisitic Inspirations - Embossing

Good Morning Susan,
What a wonderful card, love the colour, design and the heart Die Cuts are so sweet. I was going to buy them, changed my mind thinking they would have limited use. I have thought of so many uses since, I really should get them
