Hi there and Happy Spring!
Today I have an Easter card for you combining the fun digi set 945: Easter Parade with the Easter Parade Stamp Set 945.
To begin with I printed out the little duck and cut the paper so that he would be in the top right hand corner, leaving enough space for his other two pals! Another duckling was printed out, as was the little chick. These last two were fussy cut.
The eggs were stamped with Distress Inks Fossilized Amber and Wilted Violet and were then given a coat of Clear Detail and then heat set. That produced nice shiny eggs. I fussy cut them to make them look like the chicken and ducklings had just hatched!
The ducklings and chick were flocked with Canary Yellow with some smooth precision glue. Pinkerbell glitter was added to their ears in the same manner.
Dimensional Glue was then added to all the ribbons, wellies and feet and set aside to dry. This gives a raised glossy look when dry.
The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped in Versamark and was then heat embossed in Black Detail. I then sponged some Memento Dandelion ink around the edges of the card.
The front panel was layered to purple, then to a yellow layer before the white card base. I then mounted the second duckling with mounting tape along with the eggs. The little chick was attached with a wobble. I added some Violet Galaxy Nuvo Crystal Drops to pull out the purple elements of the card.
That finished off my card for today.
