Hi everyone! Today I have a cute Christmas Card featuring the adorable Cozy Quacker die set.
I began by die cutting one of the Nested Globes dies in the middle of a red cardstock panel. Next I used the Winter Knit 3D embossing folder to emboss the red die cut panel. I used a brayer and white pigment ink to lightly add ink to the raised areas of the cardstock. This brings out the pattern on the red cardstock. I cut a piece of vellum a bit smaller than the red embossed panel and glued it to the back of the panel.
On a white card base I used the Falling Snowflakes Stencil and Light Gray ink to add some interest to the background. Once the red panel was put on the card the vellum diffused the gray snowflakes. I used foam tape to adhere the red panel to the card base. If I made this card again I would not use foam tape and glue it right to the card. I feel it diffused the snowflake background a bit too much.
I die cut the duck from white cardstock, beak and feet from orange, greenery and Warm Wishes from green cardstock, hat from plaid cardstock, berries from red cardstock and the light string once from gold and once from white cardstock. The shadow for Warm Wishes was cut from vellum.
All the greenery was inked with Forest Moss Distress ink, Quackers was inked lightly with gray ink, and the beak and feet were inked with brown ink.
I used markers to color the lights from the white die cut string, cut them off the string and glued them to the gold die cut string of lights.
I assembled Quackers as shown on the packaging. I used the wreath from the Log Cabin Scene to go around his neck. I glued pom poms to his hat strings and used a pink colored pencil to add some color to his cheeks.
I glued the Warm Wishes to the vellum shadow die cut and glued it to the card.
To finish the card, I added some white texture paste and glitter to the greenery.
That’s it for today! Thanks for stopping by.
