Baby Girl Card

I love making baby cards, but I seem to get asked to make more boy ones than girl ones! lol. :(  I do love a girly card as you can bling them up with diamontes and glitter! 

So, after hearing that recently some friends welcomed their baby girl into the world, I couldn't wait to get started on making this for them...
