Happy Pregnancy Card

Happy Friday! For today's post I was inspired by the sketch below which is over at the CAS(E) this Sketch! blog. I wanted to play around with a fun pregnancy stamp from Unity Stamps called Preggo-Good Luck. I love their snarky little sayings. I know we all have that one friend that appreciates sarcastic humor. So with that being said, here's my card for today:


I started with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper and grabbed two distress inks in Picked Raspberry and Broken China. I loaded the paper up with water and then gradually added the ink using my heat tool to dry between coats. I wanted to make sure I didn't get too much purple mixing in the middle. I did do some brush flicking to get some random splatters after it was all dried. I next adhered and popped this watercolor piece up with foam tape to a A2 size white card base. 

Next, I used my Copics to color the image. I kept it really simple with cool grays and a little bit of pink on the plus sign. After fussy cutting the image, I used some silver thread to make a little "nest" which added some sparkle and texture to the card. I popped the image up with dimensionals and used it to keep the silver thread in place. The sentiment was stamped in black Versafine ink and heat set with clear embossing powder. My final touches were some glossy accents to the image and my favorite sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. 

Here's a close up on the details. It's funny how those clear sequins picked up the background color.
