Rockin Duck

Hello Portal peeps.  It's the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal and this card went to Dawn in New Zealand.  Rockin' duck also fits the new Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Rock or Pop Challenge -  include a pop up element or make a rocking card.  I love rocking cards.  These are actually really easy to make.  You can cut a circle, fold it in half and use that as your card base.  Or you can take a tent fold card base and use scissors or dies to cut the bottom edge into a curve.  Then decorate it as you like......

I used Studio Light journal dies to cut the yellow card base and matching green mat, and, just because the die was in this set, I decided to add semi-circular pocket to my project.   I stamped the green panel with green ink and two stamps from Lost Coast Designs Pieces of Calligraphy set.  I stamped the brown mat on the little pocket with brown ink and Lost Coast Designs Mini Butterfly Collage stamp.  I die cut a scrap of the green card with a grass die and added a bit of promarker scribblings.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Duck on yellow card, coloured his beak and feet and fussy cut.   I was going to put a tea bag in the pocket, but I think they frown on such things in New Zealand, so I added some paper leaves instead.  Hopefully my exchange partner will be able to use them for something crafty.

 
And when the leaves are taken away you can see the Happy Everything sentiment which is from Lost Coast Designs Party Words set.


I hope you take some time to check out all the fun interactive Rock and Pop cards the team are sharing this month, and don't forget to join the fun for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars.  

Thanks for dropping by.   Hugz

I love rocker cards too, they are really easy and quick with interest as bonus.
This cute duck makes me smile and the little pocket with leaves behind remembers me a turkey tail. I find this so fun! :D

Do you know, I have never made a rocker card. Might have to change that. Love this one and the extra pocket detail is very clever. Lovely to see it in the we love stamping gallery too xx
