My boss is having a birthday this week, so I decided to make him a card. He is an AVID duck hunter, and his entire office is covered with all things duck. So this card will be very appropriate for him. Since really enjoys seeing my work, I think he will appreciate the card.
The stamp is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps and is called Single Duck .
I stamped it on watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink, then colored using Tombow markers and a blender pen. I do love to color!
I've never seen a duck up close, except the ones I found swimming in my pool last summer. Did you see THIS post? So I'm not sure exactly what color a duck is. Let's hope this is pretty close, because if it isn't he will definitey know!
After coloring the image I distressed the watercolor paper using Ranger Old Paper and Vintage Photo Inks. Then I distressed the edges using my Paper Distresser .
The designer paper is from Paper Pizazz. I think those colors will match his office perfectly!
Thanks so much for stopping by tonight...more tomorrow.
