Superhero Mum

I’ve spent the last few days trying to sort out an idea in my head. I wanted to create a special Mothers’ Day card for a very special person. Nothing short of giving it my all would do. I had an idea for a superhero theme because I wanted the card to look fun and make her smile. Cos knowing me, the inside is gonna be soppy! 🙂

I wanted to use my favourite superhero digital stamp because my auntie is totally badass and is a superhero in every way, but I was worried that it might unintentionally offend due to its sassy (and sexy!) nature. I thoroughly enjoyed colouring the image, but then when I was done, I stared at it blankly for hours. A few panic attacks later, I realized that she knows that I have my cheeky moments and will take it the way it’s meant to be – cheeky.

I still didn’t have any ideas for the layout of the card, so I went looking for sketches. I couldn’t find anything that appealed in this instance, so I finally decided on a comic book (ish) layout. Unfortunately, the brain fog was bad. Creating the digital elements took me hours because my brain just couldn’t remember simple processes that I had done a gazillion times before and I had to consult my trusted friend, Google!

Finally at about 4 o’clock in the morning, it all came together and here it is!
