Dynamic Duckie...

Hi there,

This week's colours at Dynamic Duos were lots of fun to play with (and ones I hadn't pulled out in a while!)...


I wanted to make a baby card as I have very few of them in my stash and never seem to have enough of them when needed, and I thought these colours would be cute for a 'boy baby' card so that's where I started...


I create a patchwork panel using the Patterns dsp stack, glued on Naturals White card, then ran the whole panel through th Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. The duck image is from Embellished Events, inked with markers, then with an extra duckie stamped and popped over the top. I added some silver brads in the centre of the wheels for a bit of fun. I pierced around the edges of the circle and joined the dots with a Bashful Blue marker, then layered over a doily cut with the Delicate Doilies sizzlit die. I couldn't resist adding some ribbon (white organza) with a vintage faceted button in the centre, tied with some white bakers twine. This held the ticket sentiments (from Just the Ticket) in place (one stamped on white with Pumpkin Pie, the other on Bashful Blue with BB ink). I also added three mini silver brads in the bottom corner to finish things off. I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my layout...

Make sure you check out the variety of lovely creations from the rest of the Dynamic Duos design team!

Thanks for stopping by...
