I got so caught up in the length of the card and the 3 panels, that I completely forgot about the ribbon and middle section of the sketch. I ended up putting my greeting on both side of the center image.
I used a distressing tool on all the edges of the card stock and dsp to give it a more masculine feel and I paper pierced around several of the panels.
I used the SU woodgrain b/g stamp behind my image. The image was stamped twice, cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I added some large brads, buttons with threads and some leaves made with a MS leaf punch.
The first panel, the center panel and each of the 3 panels in the center of the card were popped up on dimensionals.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and enjoy your weekend.

Oh, Pambina, my Punch Pal..I need that SU woodgrain bg stamp. Maybe we could work something out with a punch. You think? I do LOVE your masculine card with that popped up deer. I got really close to check out that piercing..scared me for a minute, thought you had made some stitching. I live in fear with much trembling. LOL Your masculine is the best!!!
