Welcome Baby Girl

Often times I'll start off with an idea for a card but for some reason or another it just doesn't turn out as I had imagined. Such was the case with this card. Don't know why, but I really struggled with this one. For starters, I spelled baby's name wrong. With so many ways to spell "Allison" I knew I would. So I checked the spelling with two different people to get the correct spelling before I got started and I still couldn't get it right. (Sorry, Nat!) Yup, I am totally losing it.

Anyways, after much doing and re-doing I finally finished it, and even now I'm not satisfied with how it turned out.

The front of this double window tri-fold card was done welding letters from the Hello Kitty font with Design Studio. The branch with leaves is from Zooballoo, welded to the window (square from George).
After cutting, I ran the front of the card through the Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder. Had to run it through twice because the card was too large. I then used a stylus to "re-emboss" by hand the individual dots that got flattened from running it through twice.

The second flap of the card was covered with printed paper, then I added a simple square frame created with George and two strips of border punched using a Martha Stewart scalloped lace punch.

On the inside, I added the peeking baby bunny in a stroller and birdies in a nest; all cuts are from Zooballoo. Added two more lace borders, then finished it off with a ribbon tie to keep the card closed.
