yipee, yipee, yipee... I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for our Sweet Patty Cakes to be the featured stamper.... finally the day has arrived.... I am so happy for you Miss Pat - enjoy your time in the spotlight.... Here is the card I cased "Brandon".
I kept the same theme and layout. I made the faux leather bg. My cowboy image of a picture of my youngest son "Guy" when he was about 6 years old. We were at a rodeo the day I snapped this picture... I don't have the WWW man that Pat used - so I had to come up with a cowboy image and this is the one I settled on. That is real leather that is holding the Armadillo conch embellishment. Distressed all edges - I had to do some sewing on my card...
Hugs my sweet friend.... Rob and I keep saying - we have to come back to visit you and Bubba.... My blog

Now how special is this card with your son on it! I just had a feeling it was either your child or a grandchild when I first took a peek! Wow, you did good....what a technique that leathery thingy is! Yikes! And your sewing, what a show-off you are! Giggle!
This truly rocks, beautifully done and oh so Pat! Awesome card and close to your heart, doesn't get any better than that!

Wow! The image of your son is fantastic; the outlining and coloring of the photo look great! Neat slide especially on the leather. This is one special card!

This is so cute, Patricia, and perfect for our FS, Pat. What an adorable picture, and the armadillo is the perfect embellishment. Love to see your stitching of course!!
