I always think of Pat Smethers and her beautiful cards when I see this cowboy image, and thought I'd bring him out for the criss cross challenge. The backgrounds were dry embossed, and the cowboy heat embossed and water colored with SU markers. I added some HFC flowers, twine and Nuvo crystal dops for decoration.

I like your masculine/feminine design of your card with the cowboy and the flowers......really looks terrific together. The faux tooled-leather is great for the base.
I love your card - my brother used to work on leather projects years ago and that embossed background reminds me of some of his work. Beautiful card - TFS!
