Take your pink and yellow paper for matting your image.
Take your image on the white cardstock and punch out the corners using the Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper Scalloped side.
Continue to use the Corner Chomper on the Dark pink patterned paper as well as the yellow cardstock.
Adhere these three pieces together carefully centering each piece; the image goes onto the pink and then they both go onto the yellow cardstock- set aside.
Card base is yellow cardstock at 5” x 7”.
Take 8” of 1” wide pink ribbon and 8” of white & pink baby girl hands and feet ribbon – adhere the feet and hand ribbon onto the wide pink ribbon being sure to center.

Take the two ribbons now adhered together and adhere in the center of the baby patterned paper – take 1” on each side to hang over & adhere to back of paper.
Adhere this paper to the yellow card base – again, keep in mind to center this leaving an even border on all sides.
Use foam dots to attached the image to card – angle this to the left.

Take a Congratulations Dazzle and place on the bottom right just a little underneath the image.
