This week's Blogger's Challenge Friday task was to create a card that was any other shape than a rectangle. I chose to make a square card, and whoops! What do you know... here's yet another sneak peek at an image AND sentiment from the next unmounted set being released by Whipper Snapper next Friday, March 14th!
Can you guess the theme of the next set yet!?
I'm SUPER excited about the release, if you can't tell!
I stamped the image on shimmery white paper and colored it with a variety of markers before I watercolored lightly around the image with a water brush and reinkers. I used a glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the duck.
The green paper is part of an Amuse note card, a Christmas gift from my friend Vivian. Thanks Vivian!! I scalloped the bottom edge with a Martha Stewart punch that I purchased at Michael's a month or two ago. This card was easy peasy! Just a cute little 3.5x3.5 note card that would be perfect on top of a nicely wrapped gift. Good thing I know people expecting babies soon!
Cute!!! I hope it's a baby set!!
