Okay Laura, you want distressed and dirty? I have just the card for you...torn edges, funky angles, dark, and dirty. It's my son, Kyle's, 20th birthday card. Hope you like it.
The tree line at the bottom is embossed, and I brayered ink on to glossy paper to get the smoky background for the main image. There was ink everywhere...so I really did get dirty making this one. TFL!

This is so fatastic, love this amazing wolf card. My SonIL would love it. I love the colors, the image, the distressing, the hardware with your son's name on it "I have a grandson named Kyle" and I really really like that you've made the matching envelope.

Oh how cool it this! I just love that paw print and his name in the label holder! The trees at the bottom add so much too! You really add such interesting details!
