I had a hard time balancing the embellishment of the sketch with what I wanted the finished product to work out to, but I came close. The flower was made with Melanie Schulenberg's fab video tutorial on paper roses and the leaves were stamped using the single leaf image from Happiness Shared. The duck was watercolored with Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Close to Cocoa and Rich Razzleberry, then highlighted with a white gel pen. The flourish behind the duck was taken from Strength & Hope. The sentiment was stamped on White in Early Espresso, the cut so that the cs was flagged. I sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa, the pleated the sentiment a couple of times, then smoothed it into place below the central image.
