Don't you dare laugh!!! Who'd thunk I'd ever make a card with a yellow duckie???? Well, my niece had a little boy recently so of course I had to make a card to go along with the book I'm sending.
No card with flowers on it for a little boy - so I went rummaging through my drawer of odds and ends and found that cute little duck sticker. I did have the die for the sentiment though. Am taking the Clear and Sheer online card class, so thought I'd give a vellum shaker card a go, even though that hasn't been brought up - but sewing is one of the ways to attach vellum. First, I rounded the corners and sewed the sides and bottom together - then I die cut a circle from the top (to make it look kind of like a bib), filled it with yellow and blue sequins and then finished up the sewing. Added the sentiment, duckie and bow - and done! And it really wasn't all that painful to make a card without flowers!! By the way, I'm loving this online class - worth every penny!
Thanks for stopping by and love reading your kind comments.

Never would I laugh - at anything you made, unless it was a yellow duckie - LOL Just kidding!!!! This is adorable Betty, andI love how you fashioned a bib style shaker - brilliant :-D
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and cute design, Betty! Sewing is what I never tried on my card yet, I think I should try it. It gives to the card more "handmade" look.
