This day was so much fun, getting to know Karen better thru her incredible art! At look at this! She was 'good' back in the beginning too! (no surprise, I know!)
I needed a card for a man, and that was the challenge for me! Ever try to 'Man Up' a Karen B. Barber? Lol! Karen, I love the card you made and the wonderful layout. I changed the images and colors, but kept everything else.
This retired SU set is among my treasured sets. The main image is watercolored and I applied cracked glass to bring out the color.
Thanks for looking!

Wow, you are one wonderful man-card maker!! I think you have a knack for it...my DH is a fly fisherman, it is hard to find a good fly-fishing stamp image. Your trees and background coordinate so well, Pat!!
