I've again coloured the image with Copics and die cut him with a circle die. I've used patterned papers and dies again to finish the card. 

My third card has been made with a kit called "Warm & Cozy Season".

                                

                                 

The image has been paperpieced and Ive added some puffy snow to look like fur on her collar and for the bobble on her hat. The snowflake has been embossed with gold WOW powder.

Quack the duck

The theme for this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge is Anything Goes. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps this week and one lucky winner will get to choose 3 digi images from them.

I'd also like to enter this card into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge and again that is Anything Goes.

Here's my card

I've used 2 stamp sets from AALL and Create for my card. 

Quack the Duck & #50.

First I created a mask from a circle die. The background is made with Brushos and a little water. I then stamped images from the #50 stamp set in black versafine. I stamped and embossed the duck and coloured him with Copics and then used 3D pads to adhere him to the background. I love the little sentiment and coloured the "quack" with copics. Just added some sequins to finish it off.

New Releases From Unity Stamp Company

Unity Stamp Company have several new releases and a massive sale going on.

And the four new Angie girls/guys are only $10!!! The new release planner girl is just $7.69.

So first up is two new Angie guys, Brian and Zeke Guy.

This is Brian Guy. I have paper pieced his outfit and used Copics to colour his skin and hair. The stars are a die by Sizzix. The sentiment is part of the Brian Guy kit.

Next is Zeke Guy. I think he looks super cool in his paper pieced outfit. Again I've used Copics for the skin and hair. 

Now onto the two new pretty Angie Girls. They are called Clara Girl and the other kit is called Seasons of Life.

Here's Clara Girl. She reminds me of my teenage daughter , messy bun and always on the laptop. But I'm sure you can all relate to someone you know.  I've coloured her with just Copics.

And here's the Seasons of Life kit. Again she's been coloured with Copics too. 

And lastly we have the Itty Bitty planner girl Spooky Girl.  To make the background I used seedless preserve and spiced marmalade oxide inks. I splashed a little water onto it to get the washed out bits. I then used the bubble stamp from the Unity stamp set - You Can Do It to stamp onto the background with black ink. I then highlighted the bubbles with a white pen. The circle die is from Memory Box and is called Circle Burst.  Spooky Girl has been coloured with Copics. The sentiment is part of the kit.

I hope I've inspired you to go shopping and buy these beautiful kits. 

Have a great weekend.
