The ugly duckling

Spring is here and I  can't wait to see the first cygnets on the nearby lake.
And no, I didn't know what a young swan was called, I had to look it up. :)

I got the idea for the card through my own struggles, where often you don't believe in yourself and would rather give up, yet with persistence you somehow manage to pull through the hardship and prove you're not just barely good enough, but really worth it. Just keep believing in yourself!



 

The card was made with Lawn Fawn Magic Picture Changer, Swan Soiree stamps with coordinating dies where I colored the little cygnets in yellow with Copic markers to change them into little ducklings, and Spiffy Speckles patterned paper. 
First I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink that is Copic friendly and colored the images with Copics. After that I masked the images with stamped and fussy cut masking paper and  created the background with Distress Inks. For the cygnet I used Salty Ocean, Vintage Photo and Weathered wood for the clouds and the scene for the swan with Peacock Feathers, Vintage Photo and  Broken China for the cloud stencil.
Finally I embellished it with half pearls from my stash.

Tiddly Spring

I adore the quiet evening moments, when I get out of my white working uniform and jump head first into the world of colours! Spring is the perfect time for it with inspiration all around me. The inspiration for this post was a cherry tree I pass every day on my way to work. The blossoms are so soft and gentle I can't help but run my fingers through them every morning, it just makes my day. I was so excited to see this new stamp at Tiddly Inks Cherry Wryn. Isn't she adorable? I could just imagine the soft petals on my skin when colouring it. A stroke of acrylic paint, a touch of Distress Inks, foamiran flowers and voila.. here she is, Miss Spring herself :) She is so adorable I made a few versions and can't wait to have time to colour some more! I'm happy to be part of TIddly Inks blog hop Also entering in : Cinspirations April challenge: Spring time Cutiepie challenge- Delightful digis Challenge up your life #90: Aquarell

 Because the thing a teenager appreciates most on a birthday card is.. its content:) The rest most often ends up in recycling.. 😆 Entering the card in: Craft-alnica izziv #35 : Za najstnika https://veselahiska.blogspot.com/2024/04/izziv-53-crka-d.html?m=1#more
