Whilst I was looking after my granddaughter Daisy the other day in Bath, we took a walk into town and I managed to buy all sorts of useful things that I had needed for some time. These included fish bone tweezers, a knife sharpener and some more handwash for the downstairs loo. I like to use Molton Brown handwash, but do they ever do it up like a dog's dinner when they wrap it...even when it's not a for a gift. So I couldn't waste that fab bag.
I used it for the lovely background of this card. I embossed it as it was a little bent from hanging on the stroller handle. I would have loved to have used the cord from the bag, but it was really too thick to go on a card. I did however, use the Molton Brown logo which I made into the little medallion on the ribbon.

The sentiment is from one which reads, 'welcome little one', but I masked the lower half before inking it with white ink which I then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Everything else on the card is made using Cuttlebug dies, apart from the Nestie squares and tag.
