Hello. I spent some time in my craft room yesterday and created this card:
I wanted to use this cute little duck from Spellbinders, so I die cut all the elements from some new colours from Concord & 9th.
The background was created using a stencil from Clearly Besotted, ink blending the umbrellas with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink, then stencilling some Ranger glitter paste on top of the umbrellas. Putting that aside to dry, I searched through the Color My Life app for a suitable sentiment, and this came up from Simon Says Stamp on one of their butterfly sets.
I stamped that in Versafine black onyx, and arranged everything onto the card base.
I felt the card needed something else, so I also die cut the umbrella from another Spellbinders set, and added that – thank goodness I didn’t glue the wing down completely on the duck – I was able to slot it in behind.
I feel that this little duck may be making some further appearances on my blog posts…..
I shall be entering the following challenges:

Quack! Quack! ( Hello! Hello! ) Thanks for participating in FarmQuest’s rain gear theme! Our area farmers would like to have some rain. We’ve not had any rain for over 10 days so the young soybeans are struggling and the bit older corn might be in danger too. Sorry I got sidetracked on this topic of rain!! I love the complimentary color pairing of yellow and purple! The duck looks great! –Becca/DT-owner
