Baby Shower Card with Hillside Cottage Duck and Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch

The duck from Hillside Cottage is so adorable I used it for a baby shower card for a soon to arrive baby girl and her mom.  My card layout was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch #386 and also features Flamingo Ink, Scalloped Circle Thin Cut Die, zip strips from Blue Skies, pink shimmer paper by The Paper Cottage and a Quilted embossing folder by We R Memories.

Here is the fabulous Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch that I followed:

Milestone Birthday with Freshly Made Sketch #483

 My sister's mother-in-law turns 90 on Thursday so I made her a one of a kind card in bright, cheery colors (Tropical Blue, Green Apple, Flamingo) following the Freshly Made Sketch #483.

The stamp sets used are "Wordfetti," "Friendship Alphabet" and "Some Kind of Wonderful".  The background panel was spritzed with Turquoise Gloss Spray and the numbers were gold embossed.
