the image is printed from the decoupage section from the new Mulberry wood CD
I love ducks lol ….  these two are so darn cute had to cut then out and make a card
the images on the new mulberry wood CD are scrummy
something for every occasion on there do check it out ….

i have used the New Picket fence die for this card
the decorative strips at the top and bottom are the waste strips from the die cuts
why waste them…. you get some lovely effects  from the left over  when using dies
simply matted and layered onto core-dination card stock on a 8x8centrua pearl card blank
cut from the 16x16 centrua pearl card from Crafters Companion
