Long time, no see!! Surely you suspect why the absence, even if you didn’t catch a glimpse via FB or Twitter, of what’s been happening in the Chupa household in the last few days… there’s a good reason for that, my most beautiful Mother’s Day present, little Julia.
Born on the 9th, weighing a healthy 3,7 kg, she brought a whole new meaning to my life, lots of joy and cuteness that I could just gobble up. I’m So. In. Love.
She will have all the right to steal as much of my time as she pleases, but in fact she’s been a really good girl and I’m on a good way to recovery from a C-Section and tiredness. Tonight I decided on a short me-time a.k.a. craft session, just fitting it in nicely between the feeds and the hard earned sleep time. It’s all good… I feel so blessed 
So, without further delay, let me show you a new sketch! I opted for a bit more traditional, layered approach. Not necessarily something I’d fall for if I was given to work with, but since I started with the card first and drew the sketch on the basis of the finished piece (my usual method), that’s what I ended up with. How do you like it?
I based the card loosely on the inspiration from Cloud 9 May Blog Hop. Apart from the floral theme, I really was going for the lovely colour palette but ended up with mint & coral instead of aqua & pink. Close enough? lol
There’s not much of WPlus9 here, but I did let the sentiment from Blanket Stitched Blooms shine. Love this font. Gosh, love this whole set, really. I wanted to use it way more extensively, but I figured that I’m strongly on the scrappy side tonight and had to succumb to the magic of my embellies instead 😛
