Best Wishes Cowboy

Photo Details

Poster: Christy S.

My dad's been having a tough time lately at work, and his college mascot is a cowboy, so I thought this would make a good encouragement card for him :) The cowboy is stamped in craft ink and heat embossed, then I stamped all the other stuff around him and sponged all over. I tweaked the sketch just a little since I only have two strips on the upper left instead of three, but I figured I was faithful enough not to arouse the ire of the Challenge Police...right? ;) TFL!

Great masculine card - I like the background you made, and the combined circle and curly label for the sentiment.

Great card. I'll say handsome instead of pretty. Your Dad will appreciate this. It's really sweet of you to think of him.
