Tech 4 stampers blog hop

 Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. The theme is cards for children. As I've used the Lily pond lane pattern paper for my post today I thought I'd share a card using the coordinating Charming duck pond bundle of stamps and dies for my inspiration. 

I have really gone to town using the dies because I wanted to make a card inspired by yellow rubber duckies and my nieces favourite nursery rhyme "5 little ducks went swimming one day...".

I die cut all the pieces I wanted to use to create the scene in white cardstock and coloured them using my Stampin' Blends which are alcohol markers. 

for the background I used a blending brush and ink pad to create a sort of pond effect on a mat of basic white cardstock.  Then set to adhering the piece to create the scene. I used both liquid adhesive and 3d foam to adhere the pieces to ensure it had a little depth.

The sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock and adhered across the top left corner so as to not detract from the scene.

I also used a white gel pen to add some movement lines under the ducks that don't show up to well sadly but in real life do add to the final look.

This was a fun card to make and I hope you've enjoyed visiting our blog.
