Creative Inspirations Wed Challenge

My Sister-in-Law's daughter, Frances, gave birth to a baby girl, 7 lb 13 oz, and they have named her, yes, you've guessed, GRACE. Aaah, I go all goo-ey thinking about babies.....

I was in town at lunchtime and do you know, I was almost tempted to buy a card! I had a quick look but decided to have a go at making one and here is my attempt. I really hope they like it.

I have used Daisybucket designs backing paper and Penelope's Patches paper for the name, which I cut out on my Silhouette, along with the baby items for the border. I have run the border and heart corners through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder (which I love) which means I can enter Creative Inspirations Wed Challenge which this week was to do some embossing. It didn't say dry or with powders, so I think this should be alright.

Do pop over to the Creative Inspirations Blog - the design team have made some fabulous cards.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog, please feel free to leave a comment.
