POLLY CRAFT DESIGNS-DOUBLE UP

I think these two image from Polly Craft Designs are so cute. They are: "Spring Things and Sky Fairy-Love from Above." the challenge for this week is to double up on the images. What a fun idea!! I fell in love with the ducks the first time I saw it. It reminds me of when I was growing up. We had all kinds of animals. I had a pet goose that would follow me everywhere. My dad also raised chickens, ducks, banty hens.....you name it, we had it. It was so much fun growing up with all the animals and birds that we had on the farm. This just brings back alot of fond memories. Thanks Paula, for the stroll down memory lane! And, thanks for allowing us to use your sweet image.

I used paper from The American Craft Girl colletion.
Copic markers: RV11, RV13, YG03, YO8 and YR65.
American Craft Girl Border punch.
Rhinestones.

I used sentiments from Stampin Up. And to be honest with you, I totally forgot to write down what paper I used. Some of it is from Stampin Up and I think, hummm...I better not think. I am just not sure at this point where the other paper is from. I used my Copic markers and added the flowers and rhinestones for the emblishment.
