Congratulations to our new Queen, Nancy, nwilliams6, a mosr deserving stamper here at SCS!! She is a down home sweet gal from Alabama, and is so generous in spreading love around to everyone's galleries.
For my card I chose to "kind of" CASE her Midnight Cowboy shown here. I know that she has been "enabled" by another stamper and has been known to try some really "skeery" things - on a dare - and easel cards were one of them, but I daresay she has been extremely successful with them and has even branched out into SHAPED EASEL CARDS.
While I am not brave enough to attempt that this week, I wanted to make her an easel cards with one of her favorite stamp sets - the MAN!! I started out thinking this would be a patriotic MAN this week but ended up in a whole other direction. Hope you like the way it turned out!! Thanks for looking!!
It is so good to be "back" after my computer has been out for the last week, and I am branching out with a laptop-LOL!

This card is a HOTTIE! Love the crinkle, the framing, the stitching. And ... those corners look like pounded copper and all the brads look like rivets! Sooo Cool! ;)

Sue - I am so glad you brought THE MAN out for your case of one of my cards. He is dreamy the way you did him up - love all the details - they are so him! I love your sentiment too! Can you see THE MAN at a dance? We would all be fighting to be next in line - he could charge and make a million for a worthy charity. Glad you figured out that laptop too - I get mine at 5:30 tonight - this one is driving me insane shaking and being fuzzy.
Thanks for your sweet comments and honoring me with this special case! Hugz to you my sweet friend!!!!

Sue, how could you display The Man like this out in zee open when you know he's MINE!! What is it with all your SCS's trying to get a piece of my action. I've been workin' on zee ranch all day and when I come in what do I find but you and Pat caseing "The Man's" cards made by our Queen. Miss Kitty, a/k/a Stacy - twinshappy, will not be happy to see this. She and The Man are due to wed - little does she know what a cheat he is. You betta warn poor Stacy. She fancied him up so nicely and then he turns on her. I know all about that. Been there, done that! However, the important thing is your card is dyn-o-mite. The stitching, the masculine feel, it all just wreaks masculine hunk of burnin' love. You go girl, but don't send him back to me as he's used now. I'm movin' on!!! LOL!
