Flower Child Baby Card with Freshly Made Sketch #495

I've had this Flower Child stamp set (retired Close to my Heart) for 10 years or more and the sketch at Freshly Made seemed to be the perfect sketch to make a baby card.  Cherub Pink Gingham B & T paper, Cherub Pink Card Stock and Linen Card Stock was used along with Tagged with Love stamp and Charcoal Ink.  The Flower Children were colored in with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch #495 that inspired my card layout:
