Thanks, Roxie, for this wonderful sketch challenge! So many possibilities!
The main image was first masked using an oval templete then sponged using close to cocoa. The bambo was then stamped using choc. chip. The duck was stamped with brilliance black, colored with reinkers and a blender pen, cut out and popped up. For the background I inked the cb folder with choc chip then embossed the dp. TFL
