I changed the stamps, some of the colors, I did not use dp, I moved the ribbon, and added a few more embellishments. I tried to stay manly. I stayed with a rustic scene image. I distressed my edges like Rachels.
I also have tips on a background technique I have been playing around with called double embossed sponged background. I used it on this card today. More details and pictures at this blog post.
