Using the Coluzzle make the oval cut the size of the image panel using thin paper. Place the oval in position over the watercolor paper and randomly stamp the words in all directions.
Ink distress the edges.
Remove the oval and replace with the paper frame it was cut from. Stamp the image and color in.
Assemble the three top panels. Punch two 1 inch circles and fold in half then glue in place. Mark and punch the 1/8 inch holes and add the snaps.
Stamp the burlap image to the card base and attach layers. Stamp the sentiment, ink distress and border in black then attach to the card.

Love the grist mill image... Wow! Great effect with the oval and masking. I have some of those screw brads and I think they are the *best* masculine touch!

Very nice Roxie! Your grandaughter is so lucky to have such a wonderful grandma to make such a great card for her to give to her dad. I love the mill house image and how you framed it. Great job!
