This card is being sent to Bob, (the father of crystaldolphins on SCS) who recently underwent emergency surgery this summer and another major surgery last month. He and his wife, Carolyn, had to leave their beloved country life for the city while Bob was recovering and under the doctor's care. So our challenge was to bring a little bit of the country to him. Oh, and MASCULINE cards. Sorry, Bob, I couldn't help myself and added ribbon and rhinestones, but I thought Carolyn might appreciate those! The teapot destination this week is Winnepeg, Canada and the link is here.

I love it! Fabulous image and I love the embossing. Also love the layering of the die cut...I need to remember that! And I think the rhinestones and ribbon add just the perfect touch!

I there Lynn.....I don't think Bob will worry too much about the ribbon and rhinestones! The ribbon is brown and white stripe.....brown is masculine....and the rhinestones will remind Bob of the deer in the headlights.......he has so often seen! Snort! I love that ribbon behind the main panel...its very eye catching, clean and crisp....this card rocks!

Beautiful card, Lynn!! I love the way you've tied the ribbon and the rhinestones are perfect to round off this card - Bob will surely love his card! TFS.
