if you don't like it, change it

I've been taking Julie Prichard's "Layer Love" class the past month (great class!). My attempt at lesson 1 left something to be desired, so after later lessons, I went back in and modified it. I like it much better now. Can you see the trees through the vegetation? And yes, I need to work on my lettering (smile). Try clicking on the above image to see the texture detail. Below is the "before."
