Hi everyone!
Today I have a fun card for you that uses the adorable Easter Friends stamp set that can be found on page 27 of the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue
Oh my goodness, how adorable is this little duck, so cute!
Can you see the slight blush I gave to ducky’s cheeks, I just couldn’t help myself!
I stamped the duck in Gray Granite ink as I find that black ink is just too harsh at times, and I felt this image really needed the lighter ink. I coloured her in (yes I have decided that this duck is a girl) with my Watercolour Pencils (I used both Assortment 1 – Daffodil Delights & Pumpkin Pie and 2 – Flirty Flamingo) as I wanted the softer look that I could achieve with the watercolour pencils.
I just love how she turned out!
Here are the measurements for my card;
Thick Basic White cardstock – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″
Soft Succulent cardstock – 3-5/8″ x 4-3/4″
Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP (Designer Series Paper) – So Saffron piece – 3-1/2″ x 4-5/8″ plus a strip that measures 3/4″ x 4″ for the inside
Basic White cardstock – a piece to die cut out the largest of the scalloped rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, plus a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece for the inside of the card
My duck is stamped in Gray Granite and coloured in with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Flirty Flamingo Watercolour Pencils, I added a shadow under the duck with my light Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. My sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent and I added three of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for that little bit of added bling
I put a piece of the pretty Soft Succulent 1/2″ Satin Shimmer Ribbon behind my image layer, I think this added bit adds a lot of visual interest to my card without being over the top, and just folded over make it super easy
I hope I have inspired you to try this fun layout!
