Finally... here is my card for our reigning SCS Queen Phyliss aka SparklePlenty1000. If you haven't taken a trip through Phyliss's gallery, you definitely should take a cup of coffee and a long stroll through her gallery of almost 500 cards! Lots of fun layouts and inspiration there! I chose this card to case as it's my dh's birthday tomorrow and needed a masculine card...... MMTPT107 Fishing Creel by SparklePlenty1000 at Splitcoaststampers.....
When we go fishing we always see bald eagles and they are so magestic and beautiful to watch. I embossed the eagle in Espresso and colored it with a blender pen and colored in the white parts with the signo gel pen from Anne Ryan. Then clear embosssed over it. Sponged around the image with tea dye distressing ink.
Stamped the trees from Plant Hope on kraft cardsstock and sponged chocolate chip around it. Paper peirced the corners. I tied knots in the artichoke ribbon binding and added some hemp.
the rest is self explanitory.
Congratulations Phyliss on your well deserved crowning! I hope you are enjoying your week! Happy Birthday as well!

WOW Man Card! It just screams "outdoorsy" and "manly"! Guy cards are so hard for me to make, but you on the other hand, have certainly figured it all out and made it to PERFECTION!
