Mother Duck strolls along with her ducklings behind her.  Such a cute scene for a mother’s day handmade card.  Create the Mother’s Day card with the Fable Friends stamp set from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue.  Use this stamp set to create spring, baby, and/or Easter cards.  And, you, with the addition of another stamp for the sentiment, you can turn the card  into a Mother’s Day card.

How To Details

Create this card with a minimum of pain. It’s a great quick card for Mother’s Day, and you may find the creating process to be somewhat relaxing.

• Mount a piece of the Needlepoint Nood Designer Series Paper. The one used for this card appears to be white stitching on Poppy Parade. Definitely a sign of spring .
• The Whisper White panel is punche with a decorative corner punch which has been discontinued. You can substitute the Detailed Trio Punch and use the rounded corner.
• Stamp the ducks in Tuxedo Black ink and color using various blends. When you color with blends you get to experiment with different colour and blending techniques. Of course, you can also use the Color Lifter to lighten your colors as can be seen in the rain hat brim.
• Finally, stamp the sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful stamp set on Whisper WHite with Poppy Parade ink. Cut the ends on a diagonal and mount to a piece of Poppy Parade to frame the sentiment.
• To add some bling, color 3 Rhinestone jewels with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. Because the blends are alcohol markers, the color will not rub off. Using Blends to change the color of embellishments is a great way to match colors.

So, have a bit of fun and whimsy and create a Mother’s Day card which features a mother duck strolling with her ducklings.
