CDACPC3- Duck

Here's my 4th entry for the CDACPC Challenge. I couldn't seem to find a name for this little guy, so for my design I have named him, Watson. It just seemed to fit somehow, LOL. He's from Nicecrane Designs.
This image sort of looks, Tim Holtz-esk, to me. The theme for this challenge was Fall, but I struggled with this card to make it look like Fall. I think it is definitely a 'Man Card" as we have come to call them. :-) I scooted by on the seat of my pants by adding the little maple leaves to get the "Fall" part in there!
I used quite a few elements on this card so I hope I get the all listed in the recipe.
Here goes,
Papers are from Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman, Core'dinations Core Impressions Jenni Bowlin Collection ( love how the buttons match his little coat), DCWV Tattered Time and some green from my stash.
Duck from Nicecrane, Ticket stamp & cutting die from Whimsy, the sentiment is computer generated. Medallion is from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis & around Watson is the Deckled Retangles Large, and the brad is Bo Bunny. I believe the Maple leaf is from a whole set of different leaves from Recollections. it's fairly new and I got the set at Michaels, with a coupon of course!
Watson is colored with Copics:
Feet & bill- YR04, Y21
Head, tail, & legs- C1 (just a little to shade & define)
Top of coat, shirt & buttons- E40, 43
Coat & hat- YG61, 63 &G20
Riding crop- E57
Ground under feet & around edge, E31 ( my fave for this)
I stamped over Watson with a crackle background stamp and shaded around the edge with Distress Ink Antique Linen.
Lets see is that everything? Nope! I forgot I punched the edge of the green trim piece with EK Success Fluer de Lis border punch.
Whew!!!! I think I've gotten it all now.
Thanks so much for stopping by and if you have any questions about anything I post you can email me at- maureenrussell@centurytel.net
