Here is my card:
I decided to go with a new baby theme for my "new beginnings" creation. My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Graphic 45 Little Darlings 8x8 pad. My adorable image is Butterfly Baby from Saturated Canary. You can find him/her in Krista's store here. The image was originally shared by Krista as a freebie during her wonderful Butterfly Fund Charity Drive. I printed the image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics. I added White Opal and Bisque Liquid Pearls and Baby Blue Stickles as accents. The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC. A striped ribbon bow and a handmade heart button (made from punched cardstock and patterned paper) finished my card.
Here is a close-up of the image:
