Duck Swim!


Another super summer image from All Dressed Up.


I received this image free from All Dressed Up. This was for Passionate Paper Creations and Friends by Rhea, of which I was a design team member. However on July 25 this group of designers was disbanded. I am so sad this happened, but I will continue to post all the freebies I was graciously given. I AM also actually a Design Team member for All Dressed Up! Now on with the show and tell….


I wanted to use this fun pineapple paper for this card. I used the colors in the paper to help me choose the colors for my image.


Once again I used this well loved ocean/sky circle die set from Neat & Tangled. (Neat & Tangled is no longer open) I placed it on top of this small Kraft rectangle, just enough so the pineapple paper does not overwhelm my image.


I decided to not add a sentiment, so I could use the card for a variety of occasions.
