yipee, yipee, yipee... I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for our Sweet Patty Cakes to be the featured stamper.... finally the day has arrived.... I am so happy for you Miss Pat - enjoy your time in the spotlight.... Here is the card I cased "Brandon".
I kept the same theme and layout. I made the faux leather bg. My cowboy image of a picture of my youngest son "Guy" when he was about 6 years old. We were at a rodeo the day I snapped this picture... I don't have the WWW man that Pat used - so I had to come up with a cowboy image and this is the one I settled on. That is real leather that is holding the Armadillo conch embellishment. Distressed all edges - I had to do some sewing on my card...
Hugs my sweet friend.... Rob and I keep saying - we have to come back to visit you and Bubba.... My blog

Is that an Armadillo? I always think of the groom's cake in Steel Magnolias when I see an armadillo! Cool effect with that! LOVE the stitching and the rolled edge detailing! Fantastic card, Patricia!

Patricia - this is so wonderful. That looks like real leather - real worn leather - WOW! That armadillo buckle is awesome too - what a super thing to have in your stash. I also love that picture - it is a great treasure. This is all a card should be!

That thar cowboy looks like he's doin' some serious thinkin' ! What a very special card, I love that you cased Pat's cowboy but made it your own by using your son's photo, I'm also loving the stitched leather look, this is a truely wonderful card.
