Baby Girl Birthday Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #494

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a top horizontal border with 2 strips framing it, 3 small banners, a focal image to the left and a sentiment.  My card features Lovely paper and Sending You Hugs stamp. Ballerina and Blue Belle card stock papers were used.
