The adorable little ducks that are part of the Scrapping for Less exclusive stamp set, “Just Ducky”<\/a><\/span> are sooooo stinkin’ cute! As a guest designer for this month, I wanted to do some simple Copic coloring and just let the cuteness take center stage for this encouragement card.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I colored up the duck tucked into the upturned umbrella with the following Copic colors to match the patterned plaid papers from the same Scrapping for Less collection: I used the Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a><\/span> to cut out the image as well as die cut a frame for the image with purple handmade paper (for some added texture). I then used a plaid patterned paper and a striped pattern paper from this month’s Scrapping for Less Kit and covered the card front with these two patterned papers (about 2\/3 and 1\/3). I positioned a thin strip from more of the purple handmade paper between the two patterned papers to create a clean separation. Then I positioned the framed image centered on the card and overlapping the two patterned blocks.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from the Scrapping for Less add-on kit that says, “Don’t let life’s puddles get you down.” I used another scrap of the striped paper to coordinate the inside liner with the card front and added a similar purple strip to edge the striped paper from the white of the card liner. Lastly, as a finishing touch, I used Ranger Multi-Matte Medium<\/a><\/span> to adhere 7 sequins on the card front to add a little sparkle and interest.<\/p>\n CLICK on the following picture to watch the start-to-finish card crafting video:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Disclosure<\/span>: Many of the supplies I\u2019ve used for today\u2019s project are linked.\u00a0Some may be affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
