Hi crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a card that’s equal parts bold, quirky, and just a little bit ridiculous — in the best way possible! This project features the Prost! Bundle paired with the Oh Duck!!! 6x6 Stencil, and it all came together in a fun monochromatic black-and-white theme.
I started with a panel of white cardstock and placed the Oh Duck!!! 6x6 Stencil over the top. Using a blending brush and some crisp black ink, I blended through the stencil to create a fun duck pattern across the panel. Once the ink was dry, I cut the panel using a scalloped rectangle die to add a touch of playful elegance before building the rest of the card.
I love how this background adds humor and texture without being too loud. It’s not the star of the show, but it definitely sets the stage in a cheeky way. If you look closely, the ducks are all doing their own little thing — which makes this stencil so perfect for lighthearted or offbeat card designs.
Next I grabbed the Prost! Bundle and stamped them onto black cardstock using Versamark embossing ink, then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Watching the powder melt and turn into crisp, clean lines never gets old — especially against a dark background like this. The white embossing really pops and gives the card that high-contrast look I was going for.
Once the embossing was done, I trimmed everything down and started assembling. I adhered the stenciled background to a black card base for a seamless look. Then I added the embossed ducks and sentiment with foam adhesive to give them a little lift and make them the true focal point.
This card is a great example of how you can take a limited color palette and still create something bold and full of personality. The stencil brings the fun, the embossing brings the drama, and together they make a card that’s perfect for a birthday, celebration, or just to make someone laugh out loud.
I love how easy it was to put together, too. You could easily recreate this layout with other stencils and sentiments — it’s super versatile once you’ve got the basic idea down.
