Duckie's Springtime Joy

 Happy Spring! For the month of April, the High Hopes design team will be celebrating all things Spring! My first post features "Duckie Flying Kite". I remember trying to fly a kite a few times as a child but I don't remember being successful at it. Duckie seems to be a pro and is enjoying flying his kite on a beautiful spring day. 

After stamping Duckie on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white strip. Can't lie, cutting around the kite string and kite tail was more than a little challenging but with a few walk aways and deep breaths I got it done. I set Duckie aside and cut two rectangle pieces of patterned paper from Craft Consortium. Next I cut a matching Loopy Frame die to put behind Duckie. I added a die cut puffy cloud and some die cut grass. I took the second rectangle and cut it in half - one for each side- and put them on matching card stock as well. I wanted it to look like the "scene" continued so I added some cloud and grass die cuts to these pieces as well. After stamping the sentiment, I added it to matching card stock and glued it down. Some glitter dots finish off my card.
