I made this card for our pastor who is retiring from full-time ministry. My husband bought this stamp and I just decided that I would use it for some male-type cards. I will probably do similar cards for my DEERE dad and my DEERE husband.

This is a fantastic card - I know a couple of John Deere fans who would be thrilled to get a card like it. I like the way you've added so much detail without losing the masculinity, the twine, the button, the stitching etc. Your pastor should love it!

This is spectacular! Love the Deere idea because it's just a cool stamp! Love the DP used here, it really sets your card off well! Your pastor will absolutely love this!

What a Deere, sweet thing to do! Your pastor will remember your thoughtfulness every time he sees this! Your rich textures stand out so well with the stitching. Wonderful masculine card! TSMFS
Wait! Your DH bought this? Bless his heart!

Fabulous card, love it!!! Neat layering of shapes and great coloring and sponging. Would also LOVE to get my hands on this stamp, my hubby works at Deere headquarters. Must be a retired one, though, as I see it was made by PSX.
