Kim is the Featured Stamper today - hooray! I love her work. If I had better flower images, I would have made some awesome flower cards today. I decided to go rugged and manly instead. I think I was also inspired by all the truck cards Pat Smethers has been making. Here is Kim's awesomely brilliant White Orchids card:
Even though Kim's card is a flower card, the colors and panels said masculine to me. I tried to capture that in my card as well even though I didn't have her fun papers. I was going to do a twine bow, but the card ended up more masculine than I had expected and a bow just didn't seem to fit when I put it all together.
My daughter's fiance has a blue truck with 2 lift kits and they like to go mud riding. I thought she could make this into a Valentine's card for him with some fun saying inside like: Valentine, I would go through mud for you or something along those lines. I used a digital image from LilyPink Designs (available at Can you Digi It?). Visit my blog for more details:

I love this card Nancy!! I love the way the truck is jumping off the page!! Your clouds and bg are sensational!! How did you do that?? Nice job with the 4 bg panels. I really do not do many masculine cards. Good for you for having this beauty on hand. Thanks so much for playing today. Hugs, Kim

Oh my WORD! Can you say FAV? Yeah....hit it straight off Sistah! I love this! Two lift kits, I am jealous...Ok, back to your awesome bg! Knock out clouds, rugged terrain and a truck in blue (that is only right, which is why my truck is blue, no lift kit tho...) Love the camo bg too Sistah. LYMIMIMIMI, and your truck too!
