The words given for the eighteenth challenge are "childhood" and "easier".
My chosen quote for this week's postcard is attributed to the Victorian author Samuel Butler. I felt these two ducks were having a good gossip putting the world to rights and could well be quacking the quote in their conversation. The background is sprayed with Dylusions inks and then stamped. The ducks were stamped, cut out and glued on.

I found quite a few song lyrics containing the word "friendship" and in the end chose Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses. For this postcard I went for a clean and rather cute look so I could do some soothing colouring and cutting out. The boys t-shirt, shorts and kite are paper pieced and the rest of the image coloured with alcohol pens and then a touch of Distress Ink around the edges.

In love with your ducks... Beautiful faces and great placement on your CAS card, has to be one of my favourite entries so far! Wonderful quote...
Love Bon Jovi, such a fantastic choice of lyric and so beautifully coloured, reminds you of more innocent times:-) xxx
I love those ducks. Two lovely cards.
Love both cards, but think the duck one is my favourite! What is it about ducks?
Oh yes, those ducks are wonderful and the background is full of stamping, love this one. The second one is a very sweet image, both very good pages!
Two fab cards and quotes, I love the ducks! xx
Had to pop over and check out your ducks. They are gorgeous. Great colours and quote. Then it's two for one. How nice. I like that little boy stamp. It looks familiar so I wonder if it's gathering dust in my stash somewhere??!! Will have to dig it out. Love how you paper pieced him. Hugz
Two wonderful postcards :D
I'm going to be singing that GnR song for DAYS. The way you illustrated it was beautiful. Of course, your ducks were a pleasant surprise!
Both creations are wonderful. I love the ducks :o)
