SO many possibilities! I ended up making two very different cards. First is this sympathy card. I thought the large, 3-tree image from Through the Trees would be perfect in that circle as a focal point. Then just lots of matting and layering.
The next card has a whole different look, from the same sketch.
How cute is that little fox?? That's an Imaginesce stamp that I picked up ages ago, but it was still unopened! Until I discovered Copics, I just never found a way to use it. I colored him and cut him out (tip: after I carefully cut him out, I inked around the edges, which covered up the little bits of white here and there from my imperfect cutting job). The background yellow grid paper was from my stash, and the blue is Bazzill smoothie cardstock stamped with Background Basics: Geometrics. Now, see that scalloped circle? I punched it from tan cardstock, but it felt like it needed a little something. So, I stamped around the edge in each scallop using a small leaf from Beautiful Blooms 2. It doesn't look at all like a leaf; I just liked how the rounded end of the leaf fit nicely into each scallop!
I hope you've enjoyed these, and be sure to check out the rest of the Posse gals' creations! A link to each of their blogs can be found in my sidebar, or go to our group blog here. Have a wonderful day!

I love the first card Debbie!! So BEAUTIFUL and PEACEFUL ..... and yes that FOX is totally cute!!!
Great job on both cards. I love the color combo on the first card and you are right, the trees are perfect in that circle.
The second card is adorable and you are doing well with those copics. I haven't had mine out in a bit, but I need to get some practicing in. I really love how you used the leaf stamp around the scallop - great little detail.
Fun cards Debbie! Love those trees and that fox is too cute!
Love the colors on the tree card, so striking. And how clever to stamp the leaf in the scallops, it looks amazing!
Love those two cards....everyone is doing such fun things with strings on their cards today! Those red birds so pop off the paper!
Wow that first card is FANTASTIC!!! Love the trees with the addition of the tiny red birds!
Your first card looks like such a nice, wintry scene to me and on the second one, that fox is adorable!
Love both cards!! That little fox is adorable! Great job with the coloring!
Wow, where to start? I love them both. The fox is beyond adorable and the way you let the trees go off the edge of the circle is a lovely touch.
Gorgeous sympathy card, Debbie. And that little fox is adorable!
Fantastic cards, Debbie! The sympathy card is beautiful and the other card is DARLING!
Love your Through the Trees card! Very pretty!
So cute and I love how you used the leaf to decorate your scallops - might have to "borrow" that idea!
Lovely!!! I really love the trees in the circle, but that fox is SO cute. I really like all of the little details on your card. That striped paper behind the panel is cute!
