Happy Easter


 I found this older Penny Black duckling image in a box of stamped images and colored it up to make an Easter card. I used a SU! basketweave embossing folder along with stitched circle dies and 2 different Easter sentiment dies. I added 3 sparkle stickers just for fun.

Sharing this with the following challenges:

Must use an Embossing folder with an optional theme of adding bling

Critter Crazy Challenge #84 - A/G with a featured critter


The Allsorts Challenge #772 - Feathers and/or Fur or A/G

Easter comes early this year and right on the heels of St. Patrick's Day and the first day of spring, so March is a month to celebrate. Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do.

Your duck is super cute! Gorgeous coloring and I love the basket weave texture behind him! Easter is early this year and I'm still trying to transition myself! LOL The sun has been shining and the flowers are starting to peek out, so it's coming! Yay! Have a great weekend!

It's a fabulous card, Carol! Love the cute duck with tulips and your colouring! And although the image of the duck is so cute, the whole design is elegant with that basketweave EF and the colour of the mats! Love so much the patterned sentiment too. A perfect choice of elements as always!!
Hope you are well and your days are good ones! Wishing you a very beautiful Sunday!
Hugs from afar!

Yes, Easter is rather early this year and it's always a guessing game what weather it may bring with it, lets hope for at least a little sunshine (here in our part of the UK rain yet again this morning).

Your Easter card is a delight with the sweet PB image and rather lovely waffle design EF in the background, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.

Oh so cute! This duck is just to smile about. Her expression is so beautiful to look at. Great layout with these two circles and a beautiful background. This embossing like a basket looks so fabulous. And I love the die-cut Easter wish.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with the latest Critter Crazy challenge.
