Sentimental Sundays Baby Challenge

Hey Everyone!Hope you all had a great Christmas day and enjoying Boxing Day! Muggins here is working today!!? At least i don't have to wear my uniform and get fed for free which is a bonus but i'd rather be at home!

So here is my first ever hybrid card, i've designed the card all in GIMP and all i've done is printed it out onto cardstock and i must say it's a lot of fun getting the transparency right and getting the card to look ok.

Well the card is for my hubby's mate they are expecting their fist child in a couple of weeks and i thought i would get the card ready made to hand over and i've gone for bright colours so its neutral but they are having a boy but you never know till the little arrives! so i thought i would playsafe LOL
