Baby Shower Invitation
My mom is helping to plan a baby shower for a couple from church so we sat down last weekend to create a few invitations. I wanted to use a duck on the invitation, but none of the duck stamps I have were fitting the vision in my head. I tried to sketch a duck in order to create a template and my efforts can be summed up in one word…. laughable! So I asked my mom to try sketching a duck and she came out with this perfect little duck on the first try! Apparently I didn’t receive that gift from her! 🙂 So we traced her duck template onto cardstock, cut each one out, and chalked the edges with Yellow Ochre chalk ink. Then we added Orange Sparkly Fluff to the beak and a tiny Black Pearl for the eye. The patterned paper is from the October Afternoon Ducks in a Row collection and the “You’re Invited” stamp is from the $1 spot at Michael’s. I just love how these turned out and my mom said
the baby shower guests loved them too! Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you tomorrow for TESC101! There’s still time to enter your card in last week’s sketch challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the TE Store! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
P.S. Remember the Mouthwatering Monster Cookies recipe I shared a while back? I received an email encouraging me to submit the recipe for a contest at Foodista.com so I did! Now I need your help… click on the image below to vote for my Mouthwatering Monster Cookies!
