lawnscaping challenge #99 - clean and simple!

february is here! woo-hoo!
and today starts a brand new Lawnscaping Challenge! and this one is a favorite of mine! clean and simple!

oh yeah! this is something i love anyway, and i CAN'T WAIT to see all of the amazing creations everyone makes!

i made my card for a friend who is expecting a baby (on Valentine's Day, no less!)! she had her shower the other day, and of course i had to make her a card! :)

i added some gesso to the top middle of my white card front. once it was dry, i added some yellow watercolor with my Mustard Seed distress ink to create a little scene!

the duck is from Hello Baby and that little duckling is actually the bird from Happy Everything! i masked his beak off and added the beak from the duck image instead! easy peasy!! (i also did this on the layout i created a few days ago! you can see it here, if you're so inclined!)

i stamped the sentiment onto some vellum and stitched it so that it bubbled up from the card base, just because i could! all of the images were colored with copics! 

so that's my card! are you ready to play along?
