A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge - Animal Magic

Here is my card for the challenge this week at A Spoon Full of Sugar. The theme is animals and I chose one of my favourite stamps, this super cute Duck in Boots! I was blog hopping last night and saw the fabulous card that Marlene had created for this weeks challenge, she had used brown ink rather than black for a more muted look so I thought I would have a go too! I used my Brilliance Coffee Bean ink pad and stamped the duck and coloured him with water colour pencils. I used K & Co papers and all the other elements are stamps from the new range of Papermania. These stamps are from the 'Sweet Nothings' range, they are so versatile and I think I will be using them a lot! I used a Whispers pen in a shade slightly darker than the coffee bean ink to get a little darker definition and a little doodling to soften some edges.
Thanks for looking, I'll be back this afternoon for a bit of blog hopping!
Love Becky xx
