The Hope You Can Cling To challenge was to create a card that showed strength. In my neck of the woods (Idaho) there is nothing as majestic as the moose. The moose is HUGE, has strong features (almost ugly) and can bulldoze his way to make a path. Then I was able to match up the moose image with the sentiment "You've got courage, You've got strength" (on the inside) and I totally thought it conveyed the message of a warrior.
Thanks for looking. Susie

Oh I love this! We sometimes see moose where our cottage is. They are wonderful as is your card! The embossed trees and the shadowy moose in the background look so realistic. I like your popped up moose at the front emphasizing the sentiment. All round super card!

Susie, this is an outstanding design!! I love everything about it. What a great thought behind the design as well and I agree that the giant moose conveys great strength. Thank you so much for finding some time to join in the Warrior challenge for HYCCT. We are so happy to have you.

WOW, this is fab! I have to say though, I was in the woods, and a small female moose came near me, and I was in the car SO fast. Scared the daylights out of me!! Your idea is conveyed so beautifully!
