I'm in Haven: Duck the Halls

A couple weeks ago, I had a funny idea for a Christmas card that I could not let it go of, until I made the card...so here it is...

I used the adorable Lawn Fawn Rub-a-Dub stamp/die set along with the new Simply Winter sentiment stamp set! I decided to combine parts of sentiments from both sets of stamps, cutting the "DECK" off one sentiment and adding the "DUCK" cut from another, to make a cute funny, punny Christmas sentiment! I combined those with two of the adorable ducks, along with the Christmas lights from the new Simon Says Stamp stamp/die set, Winter Scene. I colored the lights with sharpie markers and used Glossy Accents to make the lights "look" like light bulbs. I layered both the ducks and the bulbs and cut the sentiment stamps and stamped them on a panel. I made two gray patches on the cards under the duck's feet, to ground the little guys to the card. I added a small striped panel at the bottom for some added design, and to give more focus to the images and sentiment by making the space between the top and bottom just a bit smaller. Here's a close up of the glossy lights...
