Happy Easter with Shelly’s Images

I am excited to have the chance to be a guest designer for Shelly’s Images. I loved this little sweet duckling the minute I saw it. The shading lines Shelly included on the image made it so easy to color.
Here is a look at how the image comes. For today only, it is on sale for $0.50 off the regular price. Isn’t he (or is it a “she”) perfect for your Easter and spring projects?
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Supplies:

  • Stamps: Duckling from Shelly's Images
  • Inks: None
  • Papers & CS: Stampin' Up Bella Birds Dp & Bordering Blue CS, PaperTrey white CS, Neenah Crest solar white CS
  • Tools: Sewing machine, Martha Stewart edge punch, Copic markers, Stampin' Up word window & 1-14" circle punches
  • Embellishments: PaperTrey button twin, misc. buttons and ribbon
