This is for the weekly teapot party, described here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=474521
You will have to read the full story. We are helping Miss Kitty ditch Matt Dillon after he has taken off some 42.000 times - leaving her waiting. Well, this is 42.001. He heard that there were some rustlers out and about - after tracking them down, this is elk is what he found. Them thar rustlers did not know their cattle from an elk - such a rarity around Dodge City.
(I really needed a card for BIL who does hunt elk LOL!!!)
Thanks to ReginaBD - this is a shameless case of her card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1578324 The image is one I got a long time ago through WishRAK.

No wonder there are stuffed cattle heads lining the walls of the Long Branch Saloon! I have seen the likes of deer, elk, grizzley bears, antelope, big horn sheep stuffed and hung on the walls but cattle??? Yikes! Dodge City needs help.
No wonder Bertie is in there slinging and flinging her rope trying to rope one of them thar critters up! Dorothy when Matt and the boys get back, lets bring 'em to Colorado for a lesson in what you stuff and put on the wall! You game girlfriend??
Hee! Love your card and your story! Its so, so, well...your brother-in law! Snort!

Apparently after 42,000 years, Matt's eyesight has gotten pretty bad. Confusing anything for an elk requires really awful ....wait a minute!! Maybe that's why Matt and Kitty have never tied the knot! He can't see how right purty she is!! Well, one of the handsome guys we have invited to the Saloon will be able to tell. Seeya Matt Dillon!! Love the card you made for your BIL!

I hope Matt isn't going to bring the rustler and elk back to town. It would hurt our tea party image LOL. Perfect masculine card. Your BIL will love it.
