Boy, balloons and brads

 I bought this adorable image from A Day for Daisies and have spent some time trying to figure out how to try something new with him as that is ADFD's current challenge.  I didn't like the things I tried out and gave up on that idea.  I followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday layout, adding brads instead of flowers (after all it is a boy card!) but realised I didn't have any tiny red brads.  So I had a go at colouring a brad with my Copics, which worked fine and realised that in the end I had tried something new after all!
DP is K&K, had it for ages, brads are Papermania pastels, sentiment is LOTV.
My card is for the following challenges:
A Day for Daisies - try something new
Sweet Sketch Wednesday - sketch
Creative Craft World - 3 or more brads
Sweet Stamps - embossing
Dutch Dare - for the boys

    Hi Anne, I love your card he's such a cutie. Great colours and I love the embossing I just adore embossing on cards it gives such awesome dimenstions and texture. I always colour brads and white flowers with my copics then I can get a perfect match to my papers and other embellishments. Great job and thanks for sharing with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and good luck.
