New baby boy paper piecing

Good morning lovelies! I have a spring in my step this morning - given that its a Monday. Is a good job I'm off to my aerobics class later - that'll sort me out!

When I saw the paper piecing challenge over at simonsaysstampschallenge blog I just knew I had to join in - I also knew the perfect stamp to use - one from LOTV that I hadn't inked up yet. I've made it into a New baby card - I have two pink ones in my stash - but no blue ones sitting ripe for the appropriate occasion!



I've cut the card from centura pearl card using a spellbinders grand die. I've used mostly papers from the blue colour capsule collection at Docrafts. The other papers are papermania and there's some bazzil basics on there too. The ribbon is from my stash and the lace and charm from the Ribbon Girls.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
