This card is relatively easy to create, so it took no time at all to put together.  When I create a card using new stamps and framelits, I generally CASE the current catalogues.  Doing this allows me to get the feel of the stamps and how I may use them in the future.

Now that I have created this card I can move on to other ideas such as silhouettes.  I can see a black egret along with black lilies in the water against a beautiful sunset.  Other ways to use this stamp set is to do a watercolored or washed background.  Want to create clouds? Use the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and the White Embossing Paste.

Egrets reside in both freshwater and saltwater locations.  They tend to nest in areas with other egrets and build their nests in large trees.  They live in warm, tropical climates like Florida.  I first  saw an egret when cruising the Panama Canal a few years ago.
