Good Morning everyone
Today im sharing the little card Ive made for my dad for Fathers day. I bought this duck stamp way back in the January sales so its about time i inked it up...maybe these 3 ducks represent my 2 brothers and I - when my youngest brother was 4 he wanted to grow up to be a duck😂
6x4.5" Cream card base. I stamped the ducks twice onto white card and watercoloured with distress inks and cut out, from the 2nd one i cut out the 2 front ducks and decoupaged them onto the base image with glue gel.
I die cut pale teal rain drop paper with memory box 'splashing puddles' die, i knew i wanted it larger than the die so i cut 2 and glued them together where i knew it would be hidden behind the ducks. I adhered to gold holographic mirror card and added to the base. I then added the ducks in place. Stamped a sentiment, cut up and adhered to the left edge to finish.
The background, where the point of my pointy tool is, is where the join of the 2 panels is, my ducks hide it and it meant i could have a bigger background. The gold rainbow holographic really dances in the light and through the die cut raindrops.
Items Used:
Woodware duck stamp JGS810 'Morris, James & Bill the ducks'
Woodware sentiment stamp
Memory box die 'splashing puddles'
Rain drop paper from the works
Gold holographic mirror card
Distress inks - wild honey, lemonade, evergreen bough, peacock feathers, dusty concorde
