Iliked how she has her scalloped image circle tucked inside the half scalloped circle on her card.
Since I needed a masculine card, I changed the following:
1. colors
2. stamp sets
3. used solid Nestabilities vs. scalloped
4. used 3 brads instead of flowers
5. used photo corner punch and one brad for corner treatment
6. added a bg stamp to colored panel
I colored my image with Copic markers and then hand drew the weeds and cattails with SU markers.
