Wickedly Wonderful Creations: Monday Montage #268

It’s Monday Montage time again! I was out of town a bunch in August and didn’t get to play along last time, so I’m happy to be back!

I really love it when a card comes together and is as good (or better) than you picture in your mind … which doesn’t happen to me NEARLY enough! This is one of those time, though!

I wanted to make the ducks from the Charming Duck Pond Bundle look like they were actually a piece of DSP rather than individual ducks. In the end, this is more of a 3D version of what I had envisioned but I am really happy with the result. The only thing this card takes is a little bit of patience with die cutting, as there are LOTS of ducks and NO stamping!!

I cut out a whole stack of ducks first using Gray Granite, Balmy Blue, Peach Pie and Pretty Peacock. Then I set to making all the little ducks by layering the pieces I had cut out. I made a “frame” for the ducks using the circle/lily pond die from the same die set. Don’t they look cute??

Keeping it simple for the rest of the card, I just cut out the “friend” sentiment from the Friends for Life dies and added a few “Blooming Pearls” embellishments which actually make the Pretty Peacock elements just pop off the page!

I have many little ducks left over, so I will probably be making another card with them very soon!
