Agnes Elephant Ice Skating - Polkadoodles NEW Release



A New Baby Girl at Christmas


For this card I decided to use Agnes Elephant Ice-Skating from the NEW
Oh how cute they all are!

I coloured her using Arrtx Alcohol Markers, keeping to pink and white only. 
Then the idea came to me - a Christmas baby card! 
I used 6x6 Park Life Stencil using light pink ink and embossed with a shimmery white embossing powder. I die cut a simple square and did the same with embossing. I then attached a white filigree die-cut frame. The leaves are ivy die-cuts and the edges inked in pink.
I finished the card off with attaching 2 pink paper mulberry roses, a sweet little white satin bow-tie and a suitable sentiment to welcome a new baby at Christmas.

I just love how this card has turned out! 
It's difficult to see in the photos, but it's all shimmery and glistens in the light
