Clearly Delightful Blog Challenge #2 Ducks
Recipe:
I created this card by cutting 4 strips of patterned paper and attaching them to my card base. Then I cut out and embossed a pink and cream shape with my nestabilities. I stamped my duck on the cream piece and on a scrap piece of paper. I colored him in with chalks and cut him out from the scrap piece of paper. Then I attached him over the other stamped image with pop dots.
The flowers are custom made using the same patterned papers I used for the background. Each flower was made using between 3 and 5 layers. I cut out squares and stacked up the layers for each flower. Then I freeform cut a flower shape. Next, I scrunched up each layer into tiny balls and unfolded them. Then I put all the layers back in a stack and put a brad through the middle of them to hold them together. After that, I scrunched up each layer toward the middle of the flower and then peeled them back a little to give the flower shape and texture. To make them stiffer and less fragile, I spritzed them with blue glimmer mist and let them dry. Lastly, I attached a jewel to the center of each flower.

This technique is so much fun and I love that you don't need punches to be able to create beautiful shapes! |
