This is a fun little birthday card featuring some adorable little party ducks! The whole set is so cute and the ducks and greetings all have matching dies. How cool is that? Color them up in whichever colors you like, add some frames & paper and done!

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1064 we are visiting Scully & Scully & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration.

To make my birthday card, I colored & die cut the cute little ducks & the greeting. I cut two frames out of the cornflower blue & a large back panel out of a blue diamond print. Pretty easy! The center panel, the ducks & the greeting are all popped up one layer.

Here are the Copics I used:

My card today is an easy thank you. The colors are perfect for spring or summer, but you could use any colors you prefer. These lovely flowers do not require hand coloring. This is a two part stamp set w/ the outline & a solid to ink up & fill in. The matching dies make this quick & easy.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS1002, so a big congrats to Donna! She has a big beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big flower centerpiece & the smaller panel behind the flower. I used a stamped flower instead of die cut one, made the small panel smaller, made my own background instead of printed paper & changed the greeting.

To make my card, I stamped the flower outline then used several pink & 1 yellow ink to stamp the solid fill in of the petals. I used the greens & a little of the pale turquoise for the leaves. The same pale turquoise was used to stamp the tick lines on a pale blue panel. I turned the paper 90 degrees & stamped it again. It was die cut w/ a Dot Dash rectangle & backed w/ a dk teal. I used rounded stitch squares for the panel behind the flowers & added the greeting as shown. The flowers & greeting are popped up one layer.

My card today features a big floral outline that covers the card. It reminds me of stained glass so that’s the direction I went with it. The paper pieced petals are part of a marbled paper pad and I thought it looked perfect w/ the gold outline. Change up the greeting for another occasion or leave it for the inside.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1063, we are visiting Kibak Tile & their Pinterest Boards. They have some very pretty handmade tile and I chose THIS one for my inspiration.

My card was fairly easy to make. I die cut the flower out of brushed gold then used the outline to cut the entire piece out. I cut the insides again out of marbled paper. The gold outline was attached to heavy piece of white & the marbled insides were pieced into place. I used a brighter gold for the center & stem. This whole panel was backed with a very narrow gold frame. For the greeting, I took the word die & cut it out of dk teal & pieced the S onto the Congrat part since the entire greeting wouldn’t fit horizontally. To help it meld together, I covered it w/ Versamark & clear embossed it a couple of times. I scribbled some colors onto a narrow white strip to attach the embossed part then attached it to a gold layer & onto the card.
