Well My True Love certainly did it in style! We were woken this morning (along with the neighbours) by a lot of honking and tooting from a cavalcade of outriders who escorted the latest truckload of ducks to our door. This had better be the last ducks. If so much as another duck waddles over the threshold I will not be accountable for my actions!!!
The design paper on the base of card is the third roll of christmas paper that I bought from the local supermarket 3 for the price of two. (I still have loads left even after using all 3 on wrapping presents so a good buy methinks.) The design has snowflakes in it so I used my Memory Box Twilight snowflakes die to cut some more out in silver shimmer cardstock and adhered to the front of the card. The sentiment was die cut using Spellbinders Marvelous Squares 2 largest dies.
Here they all are lined up inside. The middle row deciding to stand on soap boxes in order to be seen.! Stamp is of course Penny Black 'Caroling Duck' (stamped 79 times over the last days posts) and coloured using my promarkers, Graph'It markers along with a silver gel pen and silver glitter glue.
Below showing how the card opens up to reveal the choir.
Oops! Scuse fingers.
Sideways view.
Of course as we all know a
Bakers / Quackers Dozen is actually 13 ducks so here is the
13th Duck
on a tag!

Amazing Valery Anne, I love this choir of ducks. I've loved seeing all the different ways that you've used this stamp and the cards have been wonderful.
Happy Christmas to you and Doc
Sue xx
Completely quackers you are......
But have smiled each time I have visited!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful festive season. x
I hope you have room at your house for Christmas festivities. Is duck on the menu? Totally adorable card. You really thought it all out. Love the pop up on the inside. What fun we've all had with your ducks this month. Thanks a bunch Mrs. A. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2019! Looking forward to more mayhem (maybe not of the quacker persuasion).
Valery, this has been such a fun story with your "true love and the ducks". I loved the elves last year but this has been so much fun to look forward to also. They are adorable and your hand has to be sore from all that coloring (as they were caroling). I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and the ducks.
You did an amazing job with all the ducks. Love it!!

Love, love, love this card! Such a clever design!
I've loved these posts Mrs A..such fun. I'm sorry not to be able to house any of these ducks...Billy would have a field day! This last card is delightful. Merry Christmas! xxx
Thank you Mrs. A for amusing us with your duck series, it was a pleasure seeing your version of what to do with the 12 cards of duckling...When I saw these ducks today I thought they were bookmarks but I love your pop-up card instead...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Another ingenious card - hopefully there won't be any more ducks arriving. How about some geese-a-laying??? Joking of course! You've certainly made me smile with these birds. Very happy wishes for a good Christmas and a healthy and prosperous crafty new year.
What a finale! A magnificent quoir of melodious ducks all quacking away in harmony! Brilliant...thanks so much for all the fun, hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas...just don't open any parcels emitting a quacking sound...!

How fantastic you are! These ducks are fab and thank you so much for sharing them. I am not a person with a humorous bone in my body to create my own humor so I really appreciate when other people share theirs. Thank goodness every one else in my family are great at creating humor, so I get a regular doe of giggles in my daily life!
Fantastic card!
Lovely card.Great stamp. Greetings Helma DT Member
What a stunning card you have made here which fits perfectly the Colour Crazy Challenge this week. The images have been coloured in beautifully but I'd have gone quackers the amount of time you had to stamp and colour the same image!! Thank you for entering and best wishes in the draw. Kym (Colour Crazy Challenge Design Team Member).
PS: Wishing you a belated Happy New Year and wishing you all the very best for 2019 and that is a happy, healthy and very crafty one
