City Crafter 361

Hello from sunny Majorca!
(Only kidding ... this is a prescheduled post... from a rather cold UK)

It's time for another challenge at


This week Marina is hosting with a challenge to make a projects related to



(maybe the arrival of a baby, the arrival of Spring or the arrival at an airport)

I chose to make a card welcoming a new baby using a digital image


I coloured the giraffe with Copics and decided to make him a little different from the usual colour then  I used my Gansai Tambi paints to watercolour a background on ordinary cardstock - 


I tried out some Nuvo jewel drops and quite like the effect, even though I have a million sequins- I bet you do too!


The team have created lovely projects to inspire you - Head on over to the City Crafter Blog to take a peek.

Have a great day and I hope to catch up with you later in the week.

Till soon

Okay, my next giraffe is going to be nontraditional colors. Why not? It's so cute! I love those Nuvo jewel drops, too. They look somewhat clear. I don't have any like that, but I sure do like the look of them.

This is such a totally fun giraffe baby card, Ros! I love the colors and the darling way the giraffe has his/her head cocked to the side a bit, like a puppy does!! Hugs, Darnell
