Congrats!

Hello there, Nicole here today and I have a special card to share with you.  I have a friend who recently adopted a daughter from Eastern Europe and I wanted to send her a small gift and I created this card to go with the gift.

Finally, I cut the cute little giraffe out using the and my Silhouette.  Then I stamped her with the and colored her in with alcohol markers.  Finally I scattered a few miscellaneous CDD sequins on the front of my card.  I decided to just hand draw my balloon string and ribbon.  Thanks for stopping by today!!
