This is a double challenge entry. I wanted to do something with the sketch from Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge 206 and the So Shelli Creative Challenge for June -- anything to do with a birthday card.
I had a hard time balancing the embellishment of the sketch with what I wanted the finished product to work out to, but I came close. The flower was made with Melanie Schulenberg's fab video tutorial on paper roses and the leaves were stamped using the single leaf image from Happiness Shared. The duck was watercolored with Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Close to Cocoa and Rich Razzleberry, then highlighted with a white gel pen. The flourish behind the duck was taken from Strength & Hope.
