Sweet little Baby

Good morning everyone!

Today starts a new challenge at Creatalicious and this time we want to see your 

Baby cards...

I decided to make a peach & mint colored baby card and it features an adorable Baby Fairy image from Sweet November... it's stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with Copics. The polka dot paper is from MME, the background panel was embossed with the Darice Damask folder and then lightly sanded, the sentiment is from Studio g. I used a EK punch for the corners and a MS punch for the vellum butterflies. I couldn't get a very good picture of this card because in real life the baby's peach onesie matches the light peach distressed cardstock perfectly!
