Boy, this card sure ended up in a totally different place than my first intentions! Dani's Musical Card Challenge was to take inspiration from Clay Walker's "Chain of Love" - and the only thing I could think of was a bicycle. I pulled out Pedaling Past, thinking I would use the image on a top note die. Since I had one already cut out of Early Expresso, I stamped the border around the edges, and then thought of Michelle Zindorf's tooled leather technique. The next thing I knew, this cowboy (we'll call him Joe) that had been laying around my desk landed on the top note. So now I'm yanking my own chain, wondering how this was ever going to fit the challenge, when it dawned on me... I could do a chain stitch through the piercing!
