Peaceful Pond Card

Hello,  I finally got to create with the Cattail Pond and the SVG corner accents cutouts which were both released on February 5.   I made this card.

I placed the pond image into my Word document first and then added the individual cattail PNG images over top. I made some a bit smaller and then mirrored another to make a variety of them clumped together.  I wanted this scene to look like the cattails were in the forefront and the pond was behind them.

I started watercoloring the water areas first, then colored the grass, then the cattails in front left, and then the red/orange flowers, rocks and greenery inside of pond.

For the grassy shaped corner accents, I cut them from the Sure cuts a lot program on the cricut expression.  I cut one set of the grassy corners at 100% size and scaled one set of them by 80% so that I could layer them.  I sponged darker green ink on the larger corners underneath.
Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you have been inspired to go create something!
