Water Color Baby Card



I am FINALLY boarding the watercolor train.


Hope it's not too late.


I was out from blogging/cardmaking for a few months, and when I came back, I was greeted with watercolor beauty everywhere.



sigh...


I bought some tubed stuff to play with and it included white watercolor.


When I was a kid I would have ignored it...


I mean, who grabs the white crayon?!


However, when mixed with orangey-red, it comes up coral.

Gold, coral, and green are the highlights at Color Throwdown.



Yay!

 I've included these gorgeous metallic luxe hearts I snatched up.

I was attempting another baby card that just wouldn't cooperate...it was a cool plan but a horrible design to execute.


This result is simpler and sweeter, now I can actually send a card to go with the gift...


 I haven't bought yet.


My life is a constant stream of loose ends, friends,


...but it's my life


and it keeps me driven. ;)

    The black and white hearts look perfect with the coral background Marlena - never too late to board the watercolour train...I think I'm still to get on it! Thanks for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays!

    Fabulous! My boys always fight over the white crayons. They love that it doesn't show up. Then I gave them some black construction paper and blew their little minds. LOL

    So pretty, Marlena; a card that will be treasured by the newborn's parents! Your description of your life being a series of 'loose ends'...love it! Mine too...a lot of loose ends... You're already creating magic with watercolour (I've tried and have quit...why continue to do what I can't! Most of my water-colouring stuff will be part of my Christmas gift for my niece...her creativity - at age 5 - will soar far higher than mine in this medium!)
    Hugs~c
