Our Twisted Sistahs Challenge this week was hosted by Lesley. She challenged us to make a card using Black, White and a bit of purple or lavendar. We were also to make our own BG and include a ribbon and bow. The main image here is stamped and sponged. My BG is embossed with a CB EF which is more of a de-bossing folder in my opinion. The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. Thanks for taking a peek!!

I am in awe of you! You make the two most frustrating things in card making look easy! Creating a masculine card and adding a perfectly tied bow! HOW DO YOU DO IT????? CA this is beautiful from the image to the technique to the finishing touch of the perfect bow. Great challenge response.

My DH would go crazy over this card - I think it captures his major dream - a large buck in the early morning or late day hours pausing just long enough to capture (for me by camera but for him ...). I may have to case this if you don't mind!

Oh Mrs. Boz Sista you did such a nice job on this challenge. This is one of my favorite stamp sets. My mom has it and I have "borrowed" it a number of times. I really love how your card came out!
