I needed a card to go with a baby girl gift and used this push along duck for inspiration.
Thanks for the challenge Stephanie!
-Prismacolor pencils, baby oil and paper stumps were used to color the image using the Gamsol technique found in the resources section here at SCS. Baby oil replaces the Gamsol.
-All stitching was done with a sewing machine.
-The trim is just some scrap I had in the box from a sewing project which I stitched to the plaid panel.
-The pearls are attached with Diamond Glaze (any lacquer product will work). To make the process fast and easy I squeeze a drop of lacquer onto a waxed paper (I repurpose the paper that stickers and labels are purchased on), touch the end of a large corsage pin to the lacquer then to the back of the gem which picks it up, position it on the image and press down with a finger, there is a little time to slide the gem into position if needed before it sticks tight.
-The image panel is mounted on foam tape.
Tools: Nestabilites, sewing machine, corsage pin, paper stumps, stamp positioenr

I always think that Suzy's Zoo duckling is adorable - one of these days I'll splash out on one. Your stitched-on trim is so perfect for this sweet baby card.

This is a great sketch, love it! Such a sweet card. That precious little image, and cute little matching stamps on the envie. Love the texture and sewing and color. Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Lela
