Gelatos and baby mobile.


Hi everyone, it's a grey day outside so I'm alternating between the craft room and a bit of housework, just a bit lol!

I used silver metallic gelatos to paint the frame of the mobile and the sentiment, it's a lovely soft shimmery silver in real life. The animals were cut from scraps of coloured card, although the elephant was a white scrap coloured with spun sugar distress ink to match the matted border.

I never want to "waste"a whole piece of coloured card as a mat and colouring the edges, which is all you need, of a white card is so much more economical. (Must be my Scottish side coming through lol!)

I'm linking up to these challenges:

Anything goes at Just Us Girls,

That mobile is so cute and your soft colors are perfect for baby. Metallic gelato is really nice for using on anything metal. I have to look for that.

So adorable and love the texture of the background card. The gelto's look great and such a sweet card. I live in the west of Scotland ...I didn't know you hailed from Scotland x

Hi Cathy, a super cute new baby card for a little girl, had to laugh about your Scottish side coming out, as I decided a couple of pieces of patterned paper were far to big for the recycling box.... Have a wonderful week... Megan

Soft and so sweet, Cathy ... the textured background puts me in mind of a baby blanket ... the pastel mobile is lovely against it! Hugs, Anita :)
