Rainbow Rubber Duck Birthday Card

I just had to make a special birthday card for my stepson. He has a love/hate relationship with rubber ducks. I have always included a rubber duck or two with each gift that I've given him. I couldn't just give him one of my random birthday cards. I knew this set was going to come in handy for Eddie. This is pretty much what I had envisioned when I first saw the set at the catalog premiere. It took surprisingly little time to create, and I think it's quite cute. I'm looking forward to using this set in other creative ways in the future. It's one of my favorites!

Sea Street Birthday Card

I just love the new Sea Street set. The matching Maritime designer series paper is too cute! I combined the two to create something for Retro Sketches #117. I was able to color my Basic Pearls with the Blendabilities markers to create a matching embellishment. I stamped the fish in VersaMark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it some dimension. Flat cards aren't easy for me to do. I always feel like something is missing. Having the little fish, and their added texture makes it feel alive enough for me. That's about it for today. I have to get my new catalog order placed. Yay!
