A New Beginning Card

It's Saturday, my day to share a card created for Funky Fossil Designs. There were two new collections released last Wednesday, which sadly will be their final collections. They're both beautiful, so you should definitely check them out as they are selling like hotcakes. 

I've made a card that could be used for new beginnings in general, but would be great for people who have a new addition in the family, be it a new baby or a new grand-baby. 
Here it is!
