I used an older image from Penny Black (you can always tell it's older when the stamp is mounted on a wood block, right??!! ) that I actually just picked up last year after seeing someone make a card with it and knew I had to have it to add to my critter collection! Take a look...
Can you see why I had to have it?! I think this overdressed duck image is just too CUTE, and I had fun coloring him simply with a few of my Copics, and then matting him with a thin layer of red foil cardstock. My sentiment was also mounted on a thin piece of red foil cardstock and is from TE's Modern Holiday stamp set.
My background is a new to me embossing folder from SSS called Holiday Greenery, and I think it finished off my simple card rather nicely!
You have until the 24th to enter this challenge, so check out the inspiration from the DT and play along with us right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I understand why you got this super cute "overdressed" duck, Marcia! Your coloring makes him even cuter, and he looks like he's showing off his Christmas outfit, being framed in the red foil matte. The holiday greenery embossed background adds wonderful texture to the card too!
