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

This card is perfect. And perfectly amazing! I love that you used a photo of your son. What did you do to it? Did you color over parts? It is amazing. And the hardware is perfect! A treasure here !!!
