For this week's WTUI challenge from Cathy ~ Stencil It.
And for the current CCEE Stampers challenge from Lois; in honour of "Hug a Greeting Card Writer Day" she asks us to use things to spell the word "HUG".
H ~ heat embossing
U ~ umbrella
G ~ Glossy Accents, gel pen
I stamped the duck and coloured him with pencils. Stamped the sentiment and added some of the colours there too. I used an MFT die to create a stencil to sponge the grass in, and then used two more stencils to create the background. It's edged with white EP and then a scatter of chunky white EP, and then a black marker to add definition. I added Glossy Accents to the boots, Stickles to the water puddles and added some gel pen dots to the umbrella.
Thanks, Lorraine, for the Smash stencil - it was great on this!

Oh this is adorable. I love this sentiment and what fun to pair it with this sweet duck. Your colouring is wonderful and I love the stenciled background. Great to incorporate the "Hug" too.
