Duck Pond

I was planning on this for one of my Dies R us post but when I checked they don't sell it anymore, if you like it maybe you can find it elsewhere.  Instead of using it as a silhouette like I was going to do, I went for coloring the scene.

First I sponged on the water by masking the upper half of the card and using Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. Then I cut the mountains out of some scrap cardstock so that I could also sponge on the mountains, I wanted the whole background to be inked. I used both pieces, the top piece for sponging the mountains with black soot distress ink, than covered the mountains that I had sponged on with the bottom piece so I could sponge in the sky with Tumbled glass distress ink.

Hopefully the pictures help explain the process if my words don't :)

Here is a closeup of the ducks.

I liked how the mountains turned out looking far off in the distance with a bit of haze on them.

Taylored Expressions --Sun & clouds die (I used only the clouds)
Impression Obsession-- Mountain Landscapes die

Thanks so much for stopping by today,
