This is for Anita's challenge to feature an idiom on our cards. I chose "Finding a needle in a Haystack" which basically means trying to find the one impossible small thing in a lot of similar things.
This will NOT be the prettiest card in the gallery but then again "ranch work ain't purdy!"
In retrospect I should have gotten out watercolor paper but what's done is done and I painted my haystack and ground cover directly on cardstock . . . Stamped the old AI cowboy, colored with prismacolor pencils and fussy cut so I could plant him where I wanted him. Hand lettered my sentiment and at the very last minute decided to add a small needle with silver gel pen.

Boy, that haystack is something else! I’ve been staring at it for a while now and I still don’t see a needle, so no wonder he’s not looking too purdy about that whole thang! Super funny card!!

How fun is this Linda! If I get your card, I’m definitely going to search for that needle!!
