A day's holiday today, so I can do what I like :-) I made this card for someone in work, who's wife is expecting a girl in about 2 weeks. Now I'm not really one for digis as I love stamping and embossing etc, although there are some fab images, but I couldn't resist this (and another which is completely different) digi image from Funky Kits:
I thought it would be nice to leave it as greyscale as much as possible, but just added some pink, using Promarkers, for the hat and blanket. Paper is Pink Petticoat and I also added some clear spica pen on the bobbles of the hat and the ribbing on the turned up cuff, but I don't think that's visible on the photo - it does give it a lovely subtle glimmer though. Some broderie anglaise and a little charm to finish it off.
I hope you like it, and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine Challenges - Anything Goes
Shopping our Stash - Old or New (used new digi image)
