Charming Duck Pond

I loved doing this card. I know it is a little outside the box for me because it doesn't have a lot of white, which you will usually find in my cards but this was a feel good card.

Start with a piece of Pebbled Path cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.
Cut Country Woods Designer Series Paper to 4 x 5 1/4, then cut an opening using the Deckled Circle Die.

Cut a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic White and cut the die with the opening and the cattails from that. Adhere it to the back of the DSP with Dimensionals after coloring the cattails in Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path.

Die cut three lily pads in Mossy Meadow, attach to the places where the lily pads are die cut using glue

Die cut the bucket from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper using the Country Flowers Bundle, color it with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend

Die cut another set of cattails and color with Wild Wheat & Pebbled Path. Adhere the cattails to the back of bucket and attach the bucket to the front of the card using Dimensionals

To create the water use Under The Moon stamp set and Balmy Blue Stampin' Pad. Stamp it twice with the widest end of the stamp in the middle of the opening, then again with the narrow end lining up at the bottom of the previously stamped image. 

For the sky- on a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White, use a blending brush & Basic Beige Stampin' Pad. Then finish off with a small amount of Petal Pink at the top. This is attached to card front

Stamp the greeting on a scrap of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Momento and die cut with Happy Little Things

Inside has a 5 1/4 x 4 Balmy Blue and a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White adhered on the left to write your note on.
