40th birthday

It's summer and it means not much time for card-making. It's too hot for it and I spend most time outside. I'm also pregnant, due in three weeks which is very exciting. So it's a lot of preparing for the new baby.
But I want to share a card that I made for my sister-in-law in the beginning of the summer. She turned 40 and had a huge party. When my brother turned 40 last year a made a watercolour portrait on his card so I wanted to do one on hers too. The card was very appreciated which was fun. It's painted with distress ink.

Today is my brothers 40th birthday - happy birthday bigbrother!
I wanted to do something special so I decided that I should try to do a watercolour portrait that I had seen on pinterest. I made the portrait after a photo and I am very pleased by the result. You can actually see that it is him! :-) I used distress ink broken china and chipped sapphire to paint. Ofcause I wanted the portrait to be the main focal point of the card so the rest is very simple. I hope he likes it.
