Flower Power

I have made a card for 2 challenges I dont normally do, but as we are on holiday I have the time to take part in more challenges. I have used the Stamptacular Sunday theme "This is for the birds", and the Truly Scrumptious sketch and theme Flower Power.
making cards with limited stash has proved quite challenging - particularly on the ribbon front!!
I watercoloured my duckling and cut it and the layered ovals out using my nesties. I have kept it quite simple, just adding lots of punched flowers and some ribbon. I haven't stamped a sentiment as I am not sure who will be getting this! I love these bright papers and that green gingham is strokable!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black Duckling
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Making Memories Ethan
Embellishments: punched flowers, gems and ribbon from stash

Hi Cathy...I LOVE this duck! Too darn cute! It is definitely a challenge in itself to just use the stash we have on hand at times but give yourself a pat on the back! You've done marvelous!

Thanks for joining us this week. Hope you'll join us again next week for some more challenge fun!

Hugs,
Priscilla
