Waving Hello

My card today was inspired by the prompt at Time Out Challenges, and I had so much fun creating this scene. 

I've been revisiting some of my Avery Elle stamps and went in that direction for today's card.

I just love the little critters all swimming together. My water was created with pattern paper, which I fussy cut along the waves and then ink blended the top edges.   

I have a love/hate relationship with textured cardstock. As a scrapbooker, I always loved the extra interest it added to a page. But as a card maker today, I don't always love it for ink blended backgrounds, and yet it doesn't stop me from going in that direction. This one felt right, especially when I added the sun, so I stuck with it.  

The baby ducks just make me smile.

Find something that makes you smile today!
