Today's card is another challenge from Bitten By the Bug 2! The challenge called for a baby card and this is what I made. I used the A Child's Year and Summer Celebration cartridge. Also, for the bow I used the dimensional elements that coordinate with the Chantilly paper pack.
I used a cuttlebug embossing folder called Fabric Swatches for the added texture. It always adds so much to a project!
