Cute baby card!!

Hello Everyone!!

I'm still here...slowly recovering after surgery. By next week I should back to my normal schedule.

I just got the cutest package from Mama Elephant Stamps , so quickly whipped up a sweet card.

Please ignore the bad photography, I really can't go up & down stairs much and there is not great lighting in my room.

In My Heart set is super cute!!!  

The set comes with different sentiments but I wanted to make cute baby girl card so I used the banner and the sentiment from Lawn Fawn stamps.

A CAS card with a bit of  Gelato wash background!

This card is for the following challenges...

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes.

Sisterhood of Crafters  - Monochromatic.

Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything goes.

I have two more cards in-progress using this stamp set, I'll be back later to share with you all.
