Lucky Ducky
This past CHA, Our Craft Lounge released some new stamps sets and “The Pond” was one of my favorites. Look how cute it is!
So, this week, I decided to make something from it. Can you believe I actually stamped? Well, actually, I HAD TO…. I was having my monthly stamp night….. But, this was the card we created:
I thought it would make a cute tag. So, after stamp night, since I still had the bug in me to stamp, I created this tag:
I thought it would be fun to “dirty” it up a bit and add a little extra. I took the #5 Tag and used Swirls Texture Fade to give it that gorgeous texture. Then, I took the Broken China Distress Stain to quickly give it some color. (have I told you how much I LOVE these stains!) I used my ink blending tool around the tag and the image with Vintage Photo.
I colored 2 images with my copics. On one of them, I just colored the wing and then covered it with Sparkly Fluff and cut it out. I gave it some dimension by applying glossy accents to the 2nd image. I waited about a minute to let the glossy accents get tacky and then I placed the wing on the duck. I then applied glossy accents to the water to give it a shiney wet look. Here is a close up:
It was so much fun to stamp again. I forget how much I love it. Hopefully I’ll get some time to stamp this weekend! 🙂
Have a great weekend…..

Joy, this duck is so cute and I love the sparkly fluff on the wing. The glossy accents adds a lot! The addition of the tag-precious! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment on my blog, I appreciated it!
Darling card! I have had my eye on this set for a while now…..
Its peculiarity is quite strong taste able to satisfy the most confirmed smoker. In no vain it was advertised by handsome and life beaten cowboy who knows the rice of life. Buy Newport 100, Red Marlboro Special Blends, Cheap Newport 100s, there are so many options for us smokers to choose from their outstanding brand.
I know that will be true. you have such a loving heart!
This is so sweet! I love the nostalgic feel from the paper and lace
Nohting I could say would give you undue credit for this story.
Calling all cars, calling all cars, we’re ready to make a deal.
Perfect answer! That really gets to the heart of it!
