Welcome Baby Girl

Megan, one of my fellow i {heart} papers design team members, recently welcomed a new baby girl. I sent her this super sweet and girly card to congratulate her on the new addition to her family.

I used the Pure Innocence Lollipop Girl set from My Favorite Things for the focal image. The girl's dress is paper pieced with some pale pink gingham paper. I used a matching strip of paper on the panel underneath the image. The little girl's lollipop is stamped a second time, colored, cut out, coated with glitter for a candy-like look, then added to the image with foam tape.

The rest of the card is pretty simple in hopes that it makes it safely through the US mail system. I used a pink and yellow dotted paper along with the gingham strip for the panel beneath the little girl. A yellow satin ribbon brings in just a bit more of the bright color. The "congratulations" sentiment from the Essential Sentiments set is stamped on the patterned paper panel in black ink.
