Dream big

 

This is the card I made for the birth of my Grandson. His entry into the world and first week were not without some drama! His mummy, our youngest was very ill too. Now one year on they are both happy, healthy and loved up with each other. We adore him so much. He has made the whole family very happy!

This is A Day For Daisies image coloured with markers. Pretty papers and die cuts enhance the image.
