Today I’m sharing the second project from my recent monthly Card Making Class.

The theme of the class was ‘All creatures great and small’ and I think these ducks fit the bill (sorry!). It was probably the most complex project from the class, but the finished result is worth it.

This design uses the Charming Duck Pond Stamp Set and Dies Bundle. These are on the Last Chance Products list, so grab them while you can.

For this project, everything starts off white, with no coloured cardstock, apart from the base card.

There is also only one Stampin’ Pad used for the sentiment and water, the rest of the colours are added using Stampin’ Blends.

To begin, the hole section is cut into the top layer. The other pieces (rushes, lily pads and ducks) are also cut out using the Dies from the Bundle.

The back piece is then coloured using a Balmy Blue Stampin’ Pad and a Blending Brushes to create the water.

On a separate piece, the sentiment is stamped and cut to size.

Using Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie, the rushes and lily pads are coloured and put to one side.

Next, the ducks are coloured using Peach Pie and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends before being assembled.

For the assembly, the water section is stuck the back of the main piece.

Then, the rushes and lily pads are attached. I have only stuck the bottom piece of the rushes down to allow the duckling to appear from behind.

The duck and ducklings are then stuck to the project.

Finally, the sentiment is attached using Mini Dimensionals.
