I repainted one of the earlier paintings, and changed it slightly, adding a gate and some birds as well. I then wanted to change it to fit a circular aperture on some card blanks I had. I created a custom-sized page in Craft Artist to be slightly bigger than the aperture.
I scanned the painting and having imported it into Craft Artist, I resized it to fit, and then used the punch tool in the programme to punch out an image to the size of the aperture.
I got the "punching" slightly wrong for this card, although it is perfectly fine as it is. I had another little play with adjusting the size of the "page" I was working on, and this time I got a better "punched" image:

That was better, I have the tree in on this one; although in both cases, I managed to cut my signature off - I shall rectify that and scan it in again. The card below was the result of this second attempt. Now to decide whether to add a sentiment to the actual picture, or just stamp one onto the card. I might even die-cut a frame for the aperture, but the main thing is the idea worked, and I can change it as I wish.
