Another Baby Girl

Good morning crafters and what a bright sunny morning it is too here in the north - a nice change from all the rain we've been having.

 This morning's card is another baby girl one.  Once again I've used an adorable image from a LOTV art pad - this one is Little Ones and I've also had a little play with some dies I recently purchased.  I thought the new Joanna Sheen floral die matched the flowers along the bottom of the image very nicely.




Items used:

Image: LOTV Art Pad Little Ones
Papers: First Edition Paper Flowers
Dies: SB Valiant Honor 
MFT Blue Prints 20 (kiss border)
Joanna Sheen Queen Anne's Lace
MB Crisp Bows
Punches: Tonic butterfly, MD flower punch
Sentiment: LOTV stamped in Rich Cocoa
gems, glitter glue, 
Whispers pens (remember them?!) to colour in the flower heads and punched butterflies
