I enjoy the Featured Stampers Challenge because you can blatantly CASE a beautiful card with no guilt feelings. Today's FS, Hamilton Girl (Laurie) did a beautiful brick wall technique with some winter trees. I am so tired of cold weather (I live in Florida; it's supposed to be warm!) So I changed my tree to have leaves on it. I sponged around each "brick" and on the background "mortar" paper with Cognac. Other changes:
* Different colors
* One tree instead of many
* Rotated the card
* Frame around white area is wider
