BABY DRESSER CARD

I made a baby card for my hair-dresser today.  She has been on maternity leave since February; and I REALLY missed her!!  I have an appointment tomorrow and I am very excited to see her.  Here is the card I made for her.   Her little girl's name is Bergit...named after her great-grandmother.

It is a side dresser card I cased for Jan Topa.  I "quilted" the side baby quilt and put a "B" on it for Bergit or Baby!  Here is the inside of  the card:

The birthday card I made is showcasing the soon to be retired "in-colors" from 2010-2012.  The colors retiring are:  Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, and Concord Crush.  Before stamping the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, I colored each word with a different retiring in-color marker.   The retiring punch used was the "Doily Triple Layer" punch.  In the center of each doily is the matching retiring in-color glimmer brad.  The final retiring products used on this card are the satin Old Olive ribbon that is tucked behind the sentiment, and the stamp set entitled, "Happiest Birthday Wishes".
