Happy Birthday

Hello!  Today I have a masculine birthday card that I created with a Repeat Impressions Duck Stamp that I colored with Copics after stamping with Memento inks on white CS.  I cut the image with a circle die and matted on a die cut circle of Chocolate Brown CS.   Using the Sketch from this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge I assembled the card with a Brown card base,  a background of patterned paper from DCWV Safari Chic pad, strips of the Brown CS wrapped with Green Twine that picked up the green of the mallard duck.  Finished with a birthday sentiment die cut using Cheery Lynn dies.  I have fun coloring this duck image and used a photo in a bird book as a guide.

Just Ducky Card

Hello! In keeping with my plan to use more of my unused supplies,  I am using NBUS Repeat Impressions Bottoms Up stamp with another RI Duck Stamp and a new Gina K sentiment from Scripty Sentiments.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black and Cottage Ivy (Green head only) inks on White CS and the embossed with Clear EP.  The heat embossing was not really necessary but it gave a sharper image.   I then colored with Copics and a white pen. Did some doodling for waves.  Embossed some clouds with an EF just for the fun of it and then attached the image to a Spruce Green card base....picking up the color on the Mallard duck.  With this sentiment choice, I thought the card would be appropriate for someone moving or going on a trip or just achieving an accomplishment. Or whatever makes one happy!  This card made me happy!

Challenges:

The House That Stamps Built: Designer's Choice Challenge DCC13 Things with Wings
Stamp, Ink, Paper: Challenge 131 Emboss It.  Used both heat and dry embossing.
The Male Room: Challenge 76 New Beginnings.  My card would be appropriate for some one starting a new beginning such as a new job, etc.  This is the first time for me to enter this challenge. Just found it.

 Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Masculine Birthday

Hello!  What could be more masculine than a card with a Duck???  I stamped this Repeat Impressions Duck stamp with Memento Toffee Crunch ink and colored with Copics  to look like a Male Mallard duck.  After cutting the image with an Oval Die I inked the edge.   I used bright Green card base with embossed layers of Kraft and a layer of Pattern Paper from DCWV Safari Chic pad.  The sentiment is  part of  a Repeat Impressions verse.
