Little darling baby shower

Happy Sunday everyone! My husband's best friend and his wife had a baby shower. They are expecting a baby boy. Of course, my husband was "expecting" a handmade card from me for this joyous occasion. And how could I refuse? He's been a friend for many years and his family treats us as their own. What my husband didn't know was that I had already been working in my head with this card. Being one for a boy, of course I had been going over it in my head on how to decorate the card. In the end, I decided to go with a criss-cross card since our gift was ordered online and it was easier for me to make a pocket for the insert to put the printed gift receipt in. I embellished the pocket with stickers in Spanish to honor the mother who is Colombian. I had stashed this stamp for a while, colored it matching the hair color of the couple, selected the papers and other details and towards the end I conferred with my "design team" Ivonne, my husband and my son who happily gave their opinion. How lucky am I to have such a wonderful team! :) So here is the card.
