Custom baby card featuring lace, lacy punched border, ribbon and fabric flower embellishment

I received a request from a friend for a couple special cards for events that are coming up in her life.  This is for a friend of hers who has just become a grandmother of a baby girl.  I started with a pink card base and added a pieced background.  I punched a rectangle of pink cardstock with the eyelet border punch (SU), added a piece of lace and a length of ivory ribbon over it and adhering them to the back of the strip using double sided tape.  I added a tiny brad to hold my tag.  I used a off white stamp pad to colour a white brad so it would coordinate.  I adhered this piece over where the papers join.  I added a beautiful lacy fabric flower embellishment over the ribbon.  I colour printed the words, die cut the tag, embossed it with floral border (SU) and then sponged on a bit of off white ink to just tone down the white a bit.  I tied on a piece of ivory crochet thread which I slipped under the brad to secure it to the card.  To keep the tag in place I used two small pieces of 3D foam tape.    Therese
