Baby Card

A baby card I did this week for a cousin's third daughter (we are awash with cute little girls!)

This is similar to two baby cards I've done previously for this cousin and her sister. Check them out here and here.

Continue reading below the cut for a look at the SPARKLE, and also for a time-lapse of my painting this!

I added a little sparkle with a Kuretake Touch of Stella brush pen which I bought when I was on holiday in the UK, and also some metallic watercolours. Who doesn't like a touch of subtle bling?

And here's a time-lapse of this being inked and painted, via my Instagram:

👉🏻SWIPE for a time lapse of me painting this. 💜 A hand-painted baby card for a cousin’s third daughter. Don’t know her name or anything yet, but her card is all done! I added some tiny subtle sparkle to this card with a Kuretake Touch Of Stella pen and some metallic watercolour. The third image makes that a bit more obvious, it doesn’t photograph well. Do you like to do hand painted cards for special occasions like births? 💜 . . . #art #artistsoninstagram #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #newbaby #baby #babycard #floral #artistatwork #handpainted #watercolour #roses #inking #inktober #inktober2018 #timelapse #timelapseart #picoftheday #illustration #illustrationoftheday #cardmaking

I used Winsor and Newton Watercolours, Copic Multiliners and a Pentel Brush Pen on a scrap of Moleskine watercolour paper. I don't know what brand my metallic watercolours are, they're not labelled... o.O Overall, about half an hour or a little longer.
