Yippee! Get to use my xacto knife again!
Nice simple card, until I decided that I just couldn't leave it white.... so out came the chalk to add some color to the cattails..then the water... then the sky... geez just didn't know when to stop. Anyway I hope I did the original some justice!
Tried something new with cloud making ( torn paper towel for mask) seemed to work out ok!
Saw that tech online!
WOW Bubba, this is awesome and so beautiful!! I hope to be as masterful with an exacto knife as you some day!! The added color is fabulous and I love how you added the brown to make it a cattail!

Wow Xacto Man...I mean Buckle Man - this is amazing...love all that you have done here, but the thing I love the most is that little but of ribbon that is curved around - very nice detail!!! I may need you to give me some pointers on masking for the clouds...have been wondering about that...am also going to check out the Xacto knife...I think it is a Stanley Knife over here....skeery - it can do a lotta damage if you slip!!! Thanks for sharing...loving it!!

boy oh boy Bubba - you are right up there with Tim Holtz in the card making world - just ask Pat who that is. Famous Stamping Name!! Great card Bubba - love the nature scene that you have created!!!
A lot of us are afraid of White Space on our cards... good idea to use the chalks!! A Master Piece!!!! Love the ribbon!!
Wow, fabulous work on this, Buckle Man!!! I'm going to have to find an Xacto knife (dh hides them on me, he's afraid that I'll amputate a finger or something), you've inspired me with this!!! Into my favs, TFS!!!!
