Distressed Duck!

I'd like to enter this card into the Craft Room Ink-It challenge Where to begin on a card for a man who I don't know very well.  I know he has a good sense of humour so Sheena's Duck stamp seemed a good beginning.  I've been having a ball playing with distress inks lately so decided to do a wrinkle free distress background and stamp over the top with walnut stain distress ink.  I tore the edges after stamping and then blended in some colours around the edges. I love texture so used a woodgrain embossing folder to create the background and topped that with a piece of hessian. 


For the insert I distressed a piece of paper using a blending tool and then spritzed it with a fine mist of water.

    This is fantastic, I love your distress and the embossing looks wonderful. I tend to steer clear of men's card unless specifically asked, and even then I try and get out of them, lol. Thanks for joining in with our Ink It challenge over at the Craft-Room and good luck in the draw.
