Baby Wrapped in Swaddling Cloth

Hi! 
    This is the second card I made yesterday. I had brand new baby confetti dies from TE and wanted to make use of them. So I made a baby wrapped in swaddling cloth to go with the tiny dies. Quite happy with how it turned out and I hope you like it too.




Supplies used:
Taylored Expressions-Baby confetti dies
The Craft's Meow-Vintage rides (sentiment)
Dollarama (dp)
oval die (received as RAK)
wet wipe (for swaddling cloth)
    The desiner papers were adhered to the card base, followed by the oval die cut. The baby's head was drawn on coloured paper with a circle stencil and the details were added with Crayola markers. An oblong shape to form the baby's body was cut from a bit of thin sponge. A dry unused wet wipe was used for the swaddling cloth after coloring, drying and cutting it to a 3" square. Then the baby was swaddled in exactly the same manner as a human baby, but with some extra folds for shape and neatness. A glue gun was used to adhere it to the die shape while double sided circle dots held the head in place. The confetti die cuts were cut from coloured paper. Pins from a chocolate box, duck from yellow card, coloured beak, added an eye and a dash of Nuvo crystal drops for dimension of its wing. Rattle from pink card and heat embossed in white and silver. Finished off with the stamped sentiment and a puffy sticker.
I'm entering this card into challenges at...
