Wonderful challenge! Things are starting to warm up and all daffys, tulips and iris are starting to come up so spring is almost here! These cute little ducks under the flower sure look like a spring garden to me.
All images are DRS Designs. After stamping and coloring the ducks w/ markers, I used the woven plaid image on a separate piece of white first w/ the Distress inks and on another piece using green markers. I stamped the flower and leaf on top of the plaid, cut them out and paper pieced them over the base image.
The background was also made using the woven plaid and Distress inks. I used a little border punch under the greeting and added a sheer bow in the upper right. The button was made using a die and I also stamped the woven plaid on the top one. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.
