Oh so Cherished and oh so Loved
Wow where do I start with this gorgeous new baby card design? I can’t begin to tell you how many hours went into getting this design just right. I intended to create a chic and contemporary look that was gender neutral, with a classic colour palette of gold, ivory and cream. To invoke a feeling of warmth, that together celebrates the creation of a new life. Those Bunnies Be Hoppin'
Those Bunnies Be Hoppin' Curly whiskers and all..As I’d been working on the New Baby Card Collection I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce this little guy back into the LL Creations family of keepsake cards.

Back in April 2016 I was contacted by a potential client who was looking for some beautiful and luxurious bespoke birthday invitations for her 40th Birthday. She was very clear that she was looking for something very special, totally unique and to feature a handmade dress, with plenty of added interest throughout the invitation, creating an experience for the recipient.
