Tangerine, pink and teal team up with Design Adhesives, glitter and flocking on a set of cards to celebrate the arrival of a new baby girl. The shower invitation, announcement and thank you card welcome the new princess in soft, bright chic-baby colors.
There are so many ways to use the Rollagraph Design Wheels and Design Adhesives - and an array of products to use with them. I've glittered the new "Thanks so much" pattern here...and added pink flocking to the French Swirl to create a stylish stroller for the new baby.
Here are the instructions for these cards:
