So I really needed to make a Thank You card for a dear friend! She has helped me out tremendously lately and I just wanted to make her something cute and special. Well I sadly admit I only own a few Cottage dies and they all happen to be designed by Peachy Keen Stamps. Of course I would LOVE to own ALL of them but that is not in my budget. The ones I do have I absolutely LOVE!
So for this challenge we had to base our creations off of this beautiful photo. I definitely took the cuties route but I think you will see my idea. The color pink is so my friend and the photo screams pink! I used my Cottage Cutz Duck w/ Egg for my duck, Cottage Cutz Flowers for my leaves and the Duck Accessories Die for my umbrella. I also have been influenced by Donna from Popsicle Toes. She does AMAZING layering with foam, okay everything she does is amazing! So I thought why not try my Cottage Dies and foam! WOW! These dies are just incredible! Who would have thought you can use foam with these dies too! I LOVE it! So I cut my first layer of the duck with SU paper and the rest foam. It really made her pop! SO I decided to do the umbrella and bow in foam. I added some gems from my I-Rock to my umbrella.. NOTE: heat and foam DON'T mix! Lol. The stamp is from PTI ~ Handwritten Notes. The flowers I made from a previous project and had some leftovers! I hope you enjoy. Sorry if this has misspelled words, horribly written but the SUN IS FINALLY OUT HERE IN PA! I gotta go and embrace it! We have had nothing but RAIN for a month! Please go check out this new challenge blog... you won't be disappointed!
