Hi Everyone,
Well, who would have thought that I would be back here that quickly? :o) My little Baby Girl is so good for her Mama, and she has a nice long nap at least once a day, so I actually find some time for crafting every now and again! Isn't she just the best?! I hope she keeps it up for a while LOL!
Today's card was a quick make - I have befriended another pregnant lady towards the end of my pregnancy with Hanna, and we're due to meet for the first time with the babies "out"in a day or two, so I thought that it would be nice to have something little for her and her new Bundle.
To my surprise, I reached for the Altenew "Baby Balloon" set to make the card, as opposed to my go to cutesy images for Welcome Baby cards - I am really glad now that I won this set! And there I was, thinking that I would never use it...
The background is a watercolour-style wash with Distress Inks mixed with some Prima Metallic Accents.
It turned out quite nicely, didn't it? Just please - someone remind me next time not to use vellum for my focal image - adhering it to the panel without letting the adhesive be visible was a bit of a struggle! In the end, I opted for a few Nuvo Drops as an embellishment here and there, and I think they saved the day!
I am entering the card into the following challenges:
