FQCB owner Becca's inspiration project involves some mixed media=

Some credits: background panel and duck die-cut = Simple Stories card kit "Wish You Were Here"; lettering tiles = Freckled Fawn; 2 different washi tapes (1 pattern is used twice) are from a set sold by Pen + Gear; rub-on transfers of the leafy foliage are part of a larger set with outdoor garden/farm silhouettes = Dollar Tree (YES!).

Blue ink was dabbed and horizontally smeared using a sponge in the center light blue with teeny white spots section of the background panel to give the effect of a pond.
