Hello Baby Girl

The image is from Bloobel's Tiny Baby".  Coloured with copic pens, I have printed the image twice, fussy cut the whole image once and then the baby to lay in the hand. 

Every time I see this image I think of the song "He's got the whole world in his hands"

The baby has been layered with 3d dimensions onto the hand, which has also been layered with dimensions onto 2 Stampin up papers, I've added lace, ribbon, flowers and leaves together with a stamped sentiment to complete the card.

Inside I added more ribbon and a poem.

Thinking of You Card

Something totally different today.  Using stampin up products I have inked a piece of white cardstock, then added some water.  Finally, when it had dried I stamped some flowers over the inked background.

Then I remembered I had a tree in my stash with matching colours, so added the tree and the sentiment to complete the card.
