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!

How much more manly does it get? Not much!! Great image and coloring, love the texture and distressing. My dad had an IH tractor that looked just like this...he was a frugal child of the Great Depression and used it until he stopped farming very late in his life. Thanks for the pleasant little memory.
