Just had to ink up this new stamp I got yesterday from DRS Stamps. Thought it would work well with the challenges. I used an oval shape instead of the square for the image. Hope that is okay.
Base is almost amethyst topped with soft suede that has been stamped using the weathered bg and apricot appeal ink. The horizontal panel is ivory using the same bg and apricot appeal and creamy caramel ink. Don't have soft suede ink. Vertical panel is apricot appeal embossed with the Cuttlebug and then swiped with almost amethyst ink pad to highlight the pattern. Image is stamped using creamy caramel on apricot appeal. Ran a gold metallic pen along the edge and then covered with crackle. Added some half pearls and a celebrate medallion attached with twine. Hope you like it. Tell me what you think. I appreciate your comments. tfl

Wow, this is really eye-catching. That awesome deer under the cracked glass and your textured panels really rock. Love the overall rustic masculine feel of this one.

Good to 'see' you are back to creating! Thanks for the update in the thread your daughter started. I was worried about how you might be faring! Your card is great - wonderful job on the cracked glass technique. Great sketch card.
