Hello Baby!

Hi folks,

We finally got to meet our newest niece! Yay! She's two months old now and boy is she a cutie.

This is the little card I made to go with a little welcome to the family present we picked up for her.

Rather than colour the onesies on the front of the card, I decided to do a bit of paper-piecing. I think it worked out great!

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Kaleidoscope
• stamps: CTMH Georgie Scrapbooking WOTG stamp set
• layout: Mojo Monday 419
