MM157 - A serene moment....

Welcome to "Manly Monday"!  I've created a hopefully calming and loving sympathy card for my husband to send to his family in Australia on the death of a favourite Aunt.   So it's a bit of a twist on "Manly Monday" as the sender instead of the receiver.

I've used a 2-way mask technique to create the duck image and background swirl.  Can you see how??

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set (w-126695,c-126697)
• "Everything Eleanor" stamp set (w-131987,c-124164)
• Antique Brads (117273)
• Venetian Crochet Trim (134581)
• Going Places DSP stack (140581)
• Wink of Stella clear (141898)

Have a super week and thanks for starting it here!
