What a great challenge, Judy!!! I chose to make a card to honor American Wetlands Month.
The swan image from the new Clear Dollar Stamps Nestled Love set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The swan's wing was stamped twice and one was cutout and popped up over the image. The Basic Grey Wisteria paper was cutout around the beautiful wisteria flowers and attached over the background with dimensionals...I tried to achieve a wetlands kinda look. The cardstock is from Prism and ribbon and pearls finish it off. TFK and have a wonderful Friday!!

I love the paper and how you cut out around it to see that gorgeous design! What a great idea~ I was wondering how I would use mine and not miss all the pretty stuff on it!
Such a pretty card!! American Wetlands Month? Love that!
