Sharon Young's CTMH August challenge

I hadn't participated in Sharon's CTMH Challenge (Facebook Group) for a few months, so 

I checked out the sketch...

Cute, right?

I always prefer to use Close to my Heart papers, cardstock and embellishments - if possible!

and this is what I did with the sketch..



I've used papers from the Close To My heart "Free to be Me" collection - fussy cut a few feathers from one sheet... and the 'Hello Dreams' sub-title.
I heat embossed some intricate Feather chipboard from Imaginarium Designs (the Photo mount is the packaging - perfect shade of orange!)  - used Lindy's Stamp Gang 'Orange Creamsicle' from "Under the Boardwalk" and Stampin' Up! 'Tangerine Tango' - lovely finish!
Sprayed a little drippage with Prima 'Tangerine', Heidi Swapp 'Coral', Tim Holtz 'Abandoned Coral' and my favourite Kaisercraft 'Orange & Peach' - love the shimmer!!
Finished embellishing with an orange heart handmade by Charms Creations - so cute and the sewing is done!! Added some Manor House Creations Flowers and a couple of randoms too!

Photo is our great Niece Sienna when she was just a few days old - she is totally gorgeous!!
