Butterfly and brad

I've spent another happy time painting with ink. This time rather more colourful. I wanted to make a different sort of baby welcome card so this is it:

As usual I haven't managed a very good photo but I hope you can see the colours. I think it looks fun and joyful. I used a Big and Juicy ink pad. It is still big and still juicy even though it is several years old. All the colours work so well together, I love them for inking.
I printed the word. The tag started much larger but I cut it down and down until it fitted on the card but it gets the message over.
The brad has a glittery top but you can't really see that here.

I'm linking to the Butterfly challenge - Butterfly and brads - here and
the Snippets Playground - here. I've used various snippets of paper and was very happy to find the snippet of ribbon exactly the right shade. The brad came from a box my husband bought years ago and never used. I 'rescued' them and now they are in my stash!

Inky Doodles 'Caroline's Doodles' and Big and juicy Hydrangea. I embossed the flowers in white first before inking.

Thanks for visiting. x
