Are you ready to see my image!!!!!! My little guy is called Duncan The Duckling! Isn't he just to die for????
I of course colored him with my copics and then highlighted him with some crystal effects on a few parts to give the shine and some stickles to give that bling.  As most of you know I put the glitter or stickles on just about everything.  Got to love the sparkle.  I made the sentiment on my computer - the font was 4 my love.
As an extra touch and something I learned from a friend of mine Suzanne Dean I added a few touches with my white highlight pen.  I really agree with her that it just finishes the coloring off.  To soften the whole card instead of ribbon I used a peace of tule as my tie.  This image is so darling I had a hard time deciding what sentiment to use..... "Singing in the rain" came to mind "Turned Upside Down For You" but I wanted it to be able to be used as either a baby card for a shower or a valentine so I chose "Showered With Love".

Here is a close up of our DEAR DUNCAN!!!
Doesn't he have the sweetest face?

I hope I have Inpired You To Kreate and hope you all become my followers. Now onto the talented Kym W., no it is not a typo!!!! There are two of us on this Design Team, go figure!!!!!! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win your image a Darling Duncan The Duckling!
