Again I've made it with someone in mind, although the little'un is not actually due for another few weeks yet. As it's for a baby boy, I've kept the embellishments even lighter, but still couldn't resist adding the doily and a few pearls.
The sentiment is a small blue enamel brad which reads 'It's a boy'. I've also been brave and used DI reinkers to water colour the image, although I might need a bit more practice with the paintbrush as it's been a while since I picked it up and I struggled a bit with the grey!!! :0)
This card supports the 'Starting Over' challenge at Crafty Little Fairies. I hope you pop over to join the challenge and see what my talented teamies have created to entice you.
