Even though we had snow the last three days, I still wanted to make a spring card with pastel colors, so I pulled out a cute Birdie Brown stamp set from MFT.
To create my card, I started by stamping and Copic coloring all the images from Rain or Shine. I have to say the ducks in this set tickle me to no end and especially this happy little cutie! After coloring, I used the matching dies to cut them out.
In an effort to minimize layers for a CAS look, instead of adding a background on a separate panel, I created my "shape" for the sketch by using a square die to emboss a smaller square on the card base, then masked off outside of it to add a bit ink blending in blue for the sky and gray for the ground. Next, the puddle, splashes and cloud behind the sun were glued directly to the card front, then I used thin foam squares to pop up the remaining images and the sentiment. The last touch was to add three raindrop clear enamel stickers from the Spring Enamel Stickers from Hero Arts.
Thanks for taking time to stop by! Have a great week and take care.

Hey, Steff, I really like this technique you employed on your card - the blind embossed square plus masking and blending. It's very effective and the coloring is great! Thanks for sharing it with us at The Paper Players.
