My card uses the beautiful Mallard Duck image, and I am very pleased with the end result. I used Prismas and mineral spirits for blending when I coloured the image. I find this works best for me with digital imagery, as I don't lose any of the detail. Copics would also work well, but I haven't made that investment yet.....
Plaid paper by Daisy Bucket, and coordinating blue cardstock makes up the card, and I've edged the label with gold metalic. The leaves behind the image were made on my Silhouette and add to the naturalist theme. You may notice a few brown pearls and a bit of subtle stamping, but otherwise the only added element is the sentiment.
