Baby Ducks for Easter

Happy Easter!  Who wouldn’t love to receive this precious baby ducks for Easter card?  I have made similar cards every spring for the last several years.  The sweet images and soft colors always make me happy.  I may have gone a little overboard with butterflies but I just couldn’t help myself. 

For this project I used the Rectangle Combo #2, Nested Scallop with Holes, Ducks, Leaf Group, Grass #2, Small Butterflies and Tiny Flower BudsNote:  I had two strips of frame from the Nested Scallop with Holes from my bunny project yesterday so I used them as grass layers.  I thought the stitched and scallop layers looked cute for grass.

I'm sharing a baby ducks for easter card using dies made by Rubbernecker.  Click on the photo if you would like to see more details.

The Frame and Grass Layers

  • Cut the frame layers using white and purple cardstock.
  • Turn them face down and attach the sections together using double stick tape.
  • Apply strips of mounting tape around the back of the frame and attach the two grass sections to the bottom of the frame.
  • Attach the frame to the white card base.

The Leaves, Grass Sprigs and Tiny Flowers

  • Cut the grass springs and leaves using green cardstock.
  • Use pink, yellow and purple cardstock to cut the tiny flower buds.
  • Form the tiny flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
  • Tuck the grass sprigs and leaves in behind the grass layers and attach using glossy accents.
  • Attach the tiny flowers to the grass sprigs using glossy accents.

The Ducks and Butterflies

  • Cut the mother duck using white cardstock and the baby ducks using yellow cardstock.
  • Use pink cardstock to cut the small butterflies.
  • Apply Pumpkin ink from the Color Fuse #2 set to color the duck bills and leg and lightly shade the baby ducks using a mini applicator.
  • Decorate the mother duck with two tiny leaves and a tiny flower and attach using glossy accents.
  • Apply pieces of mounting tape to the back of the ducks and attach them in the scene and on the frame.
  • Finish the card by attaching the small butterflies using glossy accents.

I had such a good time making this baby ducks for Easter card.  Do you have certain themed dies and/or stamps that you use over and over during special seasons.  I sure do.  Bunnies and ducks for Easter, deer, snow and poinsettias for Christmas.  You can see more of my duck cards at this link.  They are all very similar but a little different.  You can find more ducks for Easter inspiration at this Pinterest link.  Thank you for coming by and I hope you have a blessed Easter.
