Ah...the MAN. Birthday card for a friend at work. Main image is watercolored over black embossing, and is sitting on a nestie made from wood grain wallpaper. The sentiment is from Stampendous and he has a smidge of Fun Flock on his collar. My stitching is a bit wonky still, but I am going with it! Practice, practice....
Thanks for looking!

Wow, Pat, back to your old 'tricks' with the MAN, I see!!
Looking mighty fine, Sis, - wallpaper you say? so now we are stalking wallpaper stores for sample books? - sounds like a plan!
Love this tough looking cowboy on those multiple BG papers - very rustic and the stitching is perfect for this card. the brads give it a lot of extra western flavor and the fun flock just the right touch!! You are so going to make somebody awfully happy when this card is opened!! LYMI

Hubba hubba, I agree. This is one might fine cowboy! Love this Pat. You make the most beautiful cards with him. I like how you watercolored on top of black. I have used that technique in ceramics years ago. I love everything about it.
