An Adorable Easter Duckling

This adorable Easter duckling makes me smile. How about you? You can find this little duckling in the Easter Friends stamp set along with a little chick and a bunny.

Does the designer paper I used on this card look familiar? It should. It’s the same paper I used on yesterday’s 40 Projects In 40 Days card over on Facebook. It’s from the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper. Did you click on the link to check it out? This paper is so fun!

The duckling is stamped in Soft Suede and then colored with the Light Daffodil Delight and the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend Markers. Images that you want to color with your Stampin’ Blend Markers don’t have to stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. They just need to be stamped with a water-based ink which is what Stampin’ Up! inks are.

It’s Card Sketch Day and here you can see the card sketch that I followed. I added my usual layers to my card as well as the sentiment. There was just a little too much white space for me. Having the sentiment on it’s side at the top adds a little something different to the card too.

Card Sketches are such a fun and easy way to get inspired. I usually pick a card sketch that I like and then try to figure out what stamps, dies and papers to use on it.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
