Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Charming Duck Pond

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used the new Charming Duck Pond Bundle.

This Stamp Set and Dies Bundle is part of a larger Suite in the Annual Catalogue. Along with the cute ducks, this set has a frog image (not used on this project), so it just had to fall into my basket!

My design is inspired by a project in the Annual Catalogue and this is my version.

For this project, I’ve used a few colours, Balmy Blue, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, along with Basic White.

To begin, the rushes were stamped, with the greenery coloured with a Blender Pen.

This background was then given a more watery feel by using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink.

Both ducks were then stamped and cut out with the dies, along with the additional rushes and lily pad shapes.

These were coloured using the Watercolor Pencils packs and a Blender Pen.

Circle Punches from the Online Exclusives range and the sentiment from the Stamp Set were then layered. A touch of blue was also added to the larger white circle.

Both circles were then added to the background. Next, the rushes and lily pads were attached.

Finally, the ducks were raised up on Dimensionals.
