Country Woods Charming Ducks

 This is another card I made for my Senior Center gals. It, too, uses a retired stamp set and DSP. But, once again, it helps me use up my stash!  This is an awesome masculine card, which just "fits the bill" for my gals there. This one, and she has several more "wood"/duck ideas, was designed by Terri Gaines.  Check out the others!  They're awesome, too.

Measurements:  

• Early Espresso: 1/2 sheet
• Country Woods (ret): 4" x 5 1/4" (lighter brown wood), 3 3/4" sq (wheat & gray grain), scraps (darker brown wood)
• Basic White: white scrap

To Make this Card

• Adhere Wheat & Gray square to center of folded Early Espresso card base.
• Die cut circle "frame" from center of Lighter Brown Wood piece. Adhere outsides to card front.
• Place foam adhesive sheet behind darker wood piece. Die cut 2 "cattails", and "duck" from sheet. 
• Also place adhesive sheet behind darker wood piece, too. Cut out "lily pads".
• Place adhesive sheet behind lighter wood piece, cut out "beak & wing".  This makes for a nice contrast.
• Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso onto scrap of White.  Die cut with narrow banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
• Finish inside with White layer.  Stamp "cattails" in Early Espresso.
• Finish outside with scattered Streaked Dots.
