Missed Ducky
Living next to a new pond has it's challenges and rewards. One thing is the explosion of growth! Shall I just say the frogs have been busy! LOL.
And Cattails. My hubby and boys were thinning them out the other day. Messy, messy!
As time goes by the pond will come to it's own. The fish will grow and there will be less frogs. And eventually the ecosystem will be balanced.
I love Tim's illustrations. I'd give anything to have his talent for drawing cartoons. Wow! You can find this cute duck at Hambo_Stamps. I stamped him using Archival Brilliance Black and colored him in using my Prismacolor markers. (I actually bought 2 Copics at Hobby Lobby last week. Hmmmmm...)
I drew the background and colored it in using my markers and outline them in black. I used SCS sketch challenge for Wednesday the 2 on this card. I stamped the word "missed" and punched it out using a Martha Stewart punch.
I found the little pearls at JoAnns.
Cute! Very nice addition of your hand drawn cattails. Frogs do get loud, don't they!

That is the sweetest little duck - I agree, Tim has such a talent with cartoon type characters. I have several of their stamps & would probably have all of them if I just had the funds : )

This card is adorable Asela! Love your coloring! I bought some Copics too - when they were on sale at Hobby Lobby. :o) I did what you suggested in one of your previous messages - buy a marker from a couple of different brands and see what works for you. I really like coloring with the Copics. I'm still praticing.
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!

Frogs are cool, what's wrong with frogs?
