Baby Toys!

For this baby card I was inspired by a card from Sarah J. Moerman. I colored my background with Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass. The images are from two different stamp sets which belong to my best friend Christine: Wplus9 "Party Animals" & Lawn Fawn "Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum" using the heat embossing technique. I produced this card on our latest crop.
