Duckling March GDT

 

I was honoured to be chosen as a Top 3 entry for Challenge 36 at Star Stampz Challenge Blog and invited to be a Guest Designer for the new challenge that starts today. The theme is For a Baby or Parents Expecting.

I selected this cute image Duckling March to work with.  I thought it was perfect for parents adding to their existing brood of little chicks and typed my own sentiment to suit before printing out.

I coloured this image with Promarkers, fine liner pens and pencils. Initially I had intended to make it suitable for a baby boy or girl but as I was selecting papers it seemed to more suited to the girl papers I had so it kind of decided for itself.

The main paper is is from a baby girl pack I had must be around 15 years ago now. I really liked the soft colours and this dictated the green cards used to mat the image and patterned border strip. 

The pink baby girl paper is actually a holographic wrapping paper from Paperchase. The tone of pink changes as you tip the card in and out of the light so adds another element to it.

Finally the Baby Girl sentiment is a domed epoxy sticker. I think this and the border were from Let's Make Cards packs that I used to subscribe to.

As I write this I am stricken with Covid. I started to feel like I had a cold on Wednesday. By Thursday night I felt like it was more than that so took a test. It was a very faint line so did another one the following morning after having the most terrible nights sleep. Very high temperature and coughing which was making my throat constantly sore. It went strong pink line straight away. It has surprised me how in only a few days I feel so poorly. I have been lucky not to get it until now I guess..... Hopefully I will be fine after a few more days and feel less like a tired zombie.

Thankyou to Star Stampz for inviting me to be a Guest Designer and providing this lovely image to work with.
