Summary
A baby congratulations card with a pink background and a baby depicted in a cradle. On top of the background is a glitter border lined with ink printed blue flowers, ink printed blue and red ribbon and ink printed purple lace. Hanging from the border in the top right corner is a ink printed light brown teddy bear and an ink printed white rabbit, below the rabbit is a green ball. The baby's cradle is predominantly white with a pink and blue blanket with pink and blue ribbon and bows around the cradle. The white edging has glitter detail which matches that of the border. There is a baby asleep in the cradle. Below the cradle is a wreath of pink flowers, blue flowers and green leaves. The space inside the wreath is white with blue writing which reads 'Congratulations and every Happiness'. Inside the card is a long verse printed in blue ink; this is on a background of white, blue and pink. On the left side is a white kitten, a light brown teddy bear and a brown bird, all surrounded by ribbon and flowers. The right hand side has a blue and pink bow and ribbon starting in the top right corner leading to the bottom right corner where there are pink and blue flowers with green leaves; this then goes across to the bottom left corner. There is a personal inscription on the right hand side of the inside of the card. The card has been constructed using an A4 sized piece of card which has been folded to make an A6 size card.
