James - On your Baptism....Allsorts Challenge 16

Tomorrow is a big day for myself and baby James - I am becoming his godmother at his baptism -and yes I am quite excited! Due to unforseen large amount of card requests I have been quite last minute with this one for me - just hot off the press as it were.
I had already decided that I would use this wonderful illustration by Mo Manning
and when I saw the challenge at Allsorts this week I thought it would be ideal.
They have banned rubber but digital is fine and no stamped rubber sentiments - so I have cut alphas and layered them. My image has the background paper pieced - it's a wonderful cloud paper from the Basic Grey Mellow range. I have coloured with copics and added a little Sakur stardust glitter and flocking to the clouds. The background and alphas are cut from Coredinations Vintage range - all inked at edges.
