Nancy Crone emailed a photo to me to see if I could paper piece my cowgirl stamp to match the photo. It is nowhere near exact, but it sure was fun making this gal a dress! I had to make a mask and reverse it to cover her top and jeans. Not too bad! The flower bloom from Hearfelt Thanks was used for the trees in the bg, and watercolor minis for the foreground. The image was masked and sponged and the fence was added.
Please see Nancy's gorgeous card, using her own landscape photography and leave her a comment!

Never thought of using Heartfelt Thanks for TREES and "grass". Thanks for the idea.
