A New Baby Girl

I’m back today to share my latest creation for Midweek Magnolia. Our new challenge is… 

‘Anything Goes'
(with a Magnolia Image). 

My eldest daughter's boss is about to have a baby any day now so she asked me to make a card in preparation. She knows she's having a little girl so here is what I made. 



I’ve used the very sweet ‘Baby Tilda' from Magnolia’s ‘Princes & Princesses’ Collection.

Skin – E11, E00, E000, R20
Hair – E44, E43, E42, E41
Clothes, Shoes, Bows & Butterflies – R02, R01, R00, C5, C3, C1, C00.

Here’s a close up of my image.
