For this card, I wanted to go with a bold, artsy background, so I created a fun mixed media effect using the ink smooshing technique. I dabbed a few shades of red ink onto my work surface, spritzed with water, and gently pressed a piece of watercolor cardstock into it to transfer all that juicy color.
I then placed the Oh Duck! Stencil over the panel and began blending some red ink through the stencil, creating a fun layer of ducky texture and playful pattern that adds both movement and personality to the background.
Once it dried, I used the You've Been Framed Layering Dies, cutting the background panel with the middle-sized frame, and then layered it over a red panel cut with the largest frame in the set. I adhered the layers together with liquid glue and mounted everything onto a clean white card base.
I stamped one of the ducks from the Prost! Bundle, colored it up with alcohol markers, and popped it up with foam tape for some cheerful dimension.
To finish it off, I stamped one of the sentiments in red ink and used a tag die to cut it out for a simple but stylish touch.
