The most exciting of events – the birth of a child.
The Little Princess was seven days old and we had a grand audience. To celebrate her arrival I made her the card to accompany her gift. I love the vintage cards I find on THE GRAPHIC FAIRY. This one charmed its way into my heart.
I downloaded the illustration and printed it on heavy water-colour paper. I gave the card an old world feel.
Then I mounted it with two backgrounds, embellished the wings with glitter, added a tiny dove and girly pink ribbon.
A birth card fit for a Princess.
