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:
\nDuck: Y13, Y15, YR00, YR16
\nUmbrella: B00, B12, YG03, YG25, RV52, RV55
\nPuddle that I doodled in with a Copic Multiliner Pen in 0.03 pt<\/a><\/span> and re-outlined with a Faber-Castell XS point PITT Artist Pen<\/a><\/span>: BG32 and BG23
\nI also added white highlight marks to the umbrella and the duck’s bill with a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

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

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
