Inspired By Gum Boots And A New Card Sketch!

 Hello everyone. I'm so excited for our New Challenge #IB382 at Inspired by...Gum Boots.  we have a New card sketch too.  I hope you'll join us! 

Here is how I was inspired? I want rain boots in every color shown so those boots, colors, and card sketch inspired me.

I grabbed some pattern papers from an older Doodlebug Design inc. Springtime 6x6 Paper pad. I then cut my 3 strips of pattern paper a little over 1 inch. Using my paper trimmer and glued them to a Navy blue textured cardstock panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  

Next I stamped this cute duck in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I love it from the Not 2 Shabby Shop called Rainy Day Cheer that was from a Subscription Box Of The Month or Jr Box Of The Month. I colored it in trying to match the inspiration photo using Copic Markers.  I paper pieced the umbrella from one of the same pattern papers and used a black marker to clean up my edges. I kept my duck light colored for a neutral look.  I fussy cut the duck and water droplets leaving a white border.  Isn’t this duck having so much fun? Makes me smile.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and cut it to fit. All was glued to a top folding A2 card base. I love this card and challenge.
