Wilderness Awaits For Pop


I have DH's Father's Day card done early this year!

 I haven't done the inside yet though.  That's the hardest part!

 I've used a NBUS set that I bought especially for this image.

 DH loves ducks and geese and such.

I watercolored the image using Stampin' Up! markers, then
die cut it and matted that circle on a larger circle of dark green.
Then placed all that atop a dry embossed panel.

 A reminder that this month's CAS Mix Up challenge is die cuts.
Using Stamping, Die Cuts, Watercoloring with Markers, Dry Embossing

 Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    I love your gorgeous Mallard duck Bonnie, you have coloured him and the background so realistically. (I have a much loved old English ceramic/pottery version. I was called 'duck' as a child) The embossed trees are a perfect backdrop for him. Happy stamping :)

    Amazing card Bonnie - I do love the 'quiet' embossing in the background.

    The touches of dark green and the Woodland EF set off this beautifully colored image so well. Perfect choice of background as everyone else has already said! You really know how to do the special somethings that makes a card great...vs. just nice.

    Bonnie your card is gorgeous. I love everything you did from the embossing folder to the wonderful coloring. Actually I thought the duck was a print and using the SU! markers for watercoloring gives a great look.

    What a wonderful masculine card. Great idea to have embossed woods behind your main piece for this.
