The 168th Queen for the day is none other than Tater! Phyllis is a wonderful card maker with a giant heart (one as big as Texas - really!). I love this card she made with the running horses and the great Bandana paper:
so I cased them both. I just discovered metal tape (I know I am behind the times) and I love, love, love it - used it to make my belt buckle (made that in honor of Buckleman who Tater also adores).
Tater enjoy your reign - you are very deserving of the honor - hugz - lots of them! Oh... I did use pink (please forgive me) it is on the inside - LOL!
This is also for the CCEE stampers challenge (CCEE1323) which is to use the Direct to Paper technique. Here is the link to the challenge if you want to play along too:

Oh, sweet Sister, I am "behind-er" the times more than you - I never even heard of metal tape - you will have to fill me in, since I love the look of your belt buckle!!! WOW!!
I know this card will mean a lot to Tater, since she is a cowboy kind of girl and loves all things Texan!! Your direct to paper image of THE MAN looks fabulous and stands out mightily on the BG paper - love that hardware and your fancy yet MANLY corners - Two thumbs up on this great tribute to Tater!! BIG HUGS to YOU!!

What a fabulous card you have created here, and a great case of Tater's card! I'm with Sue, in the fact, that I have never heard of metal tape either. But it sure does look great on your card.

WHAT!!!!! Metal tape???? You will have to tell us more about this. I am still sitting here with my mouth hanging wide open at the gawgus buckle!!!!! How in the world did you do that? You are a girl after my own heart especially including a tribute to Buckle Dude!!!! I have met so many people via Splitcoast and someday hope to meet them all. Thank you for this stunning tribute to my reign for Qftd!

Wow!!! Nancy this is outstanding. Ok I don't know about metal tape either. Please tell me about it. Also how did you get the dtp technique to be so light? Mine always looks dark. This is a great card and Tater will love it.

Yee Haw this is a mighty fine Cowboy card. Just knock my socks off with that bandana paper in the background. The metal piece is a stroke of genius and adds a wonderful flair to this. Fantastic.
