Even when I am not feeling particularly creative (which happens to most people from time to time, especially when life’s stresses get overwhelming), I find that if I can get myself into my craft room, I feel better. Crafting really does help keep me sane! I haven’t had much time or mojo for crafting recently, but I squeezed in a few hours today between calls, meetings, and family responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So for this card, I used two impressions of the same cute duck in a rain slicker image from the Scrapping for Less “Just Ducky” stamp set<\/a><\/span>. I colored one up with Copics in fun summer citrus colors (summer showers are a constant where I live — in fact there is a huge thunder storm passing as I type):
\nDuck: Y11, Y13, YR00, YR04
\nRain Slicker, Boots and Hat: YG03, YG25, E70, E71
\nI simply colored and inked the edges (using a
Momento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span>) of the second image of the duck as an under layer to add dimension to the image by stacking it with double sided foam adhesive. I find that a simple trick like this really adds a lot of interest and is appreciated by card recipients (especially if they are not crafters and don’t know how easy this is!) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For the card front, I looked through my scrap box and found a fun green polka dot and a yellow floral patterned papers. I used the green on 2\/3 of the front and the floral on 1\/3 of the front. When I went looking for an orange patterned paper, I couldn’t find one, but\u00a0did\u00a0<\/em> find a small orange polka dot washi tape! I used that washi tape on white card stock (so it would not show through the patterned papers beneath) and glued the strips around a piece of cream card stock as a frame as well as between the green polka dot and yellow floral papers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the sentiment, I decided to heat emboss “JUST A LITTLE HELLO” from the Neat and Tangled “Better Together” stamp set<\/a><\/span>. I used the EK Success Powder Tool<\/a><\/span> to cut down on static, VersaMark Ink<\/a><\/span> for the stamping, and Zing Charcoal embossing powder to create a thick embossed look that wasn’t too black\/stark. I mounted that on more double sided foam adhesive to add a more dimension. Lastly, I used Ranger Multi-Medium Matte Adhesive<\/a><\/span> to glue on 7 sequins in green and grey and topped them with Icicle Stickles<\/a><\/span> to add a little extra sparkle too.\u00a0 The inside liner was kept simple with a Scrapping for Less ephemera piece that says, “enjoy the slow life” inside a green wreath. The only adornments to the inside sentiment are three orange polka dot flags made from left over washi tape scraps; this was an easy way to keep the inside coordinated with the card front.<\/p>\n
