I've been waiting for an excuse to use my new tractor stamp set, and here it is! This is my card for the MMTPT208 challenge. We were supposed to bring a "manly" card, no flowers allowed.
Pretty simple, heat embossed the image with Early Espresso Embossing Powder on Baja Breeze card stock. Made a couple of layers, embossed those, distressed the edges of everything with a scissors and sponged it all with Early Espresso. Colored in the tractor with markers, colored the white stripe in the ribbon with Baja Breeze, added the sentiment and that was it!
Hope that Sol likes it!

Terrific card using your new tractor image which you have colored wonderfully. I like the various textures you have used in the bg, as well as, your color choices. Sol is sure to enjoy it.

What a fantastic card for Sol. Love your bkgrd papers - not sure if they are textured but they look like! Cool idea to think of using a tractor as the focal point. Sol will be so thrilled! Thank you!

For some reason the song "he thinks my tractors sexy" popped into my head as I was viewing this. This is definitely a man kind of card. WOW job. TFS :0)
