Great sketch! Need to make some guy cards. Using some of my hoarded Outlaw paper as a background. Stamped horses, distressed and sponged around. Added a piece of jute around the frame. Stamped, cut out and sponged the three stars. TFL

Great guy card. You mentioned that you had hoarded that Outlaw paper. I just made a card for another challenge in which we had to use paper we were hoarding. Your card would have fit right in!

Awesome use of the sketch! Love the western, masculine look. Love the stars. I still have some of this paper, but not much left. I like how you outlined the panel with thick twine. The horses are fabulous. Terrific sample card. TFS

pretty masculine card I love the racing horses and the vintage look, beautiful distressing too, from experience I know it isn't easy to use rope to make a frame but you did it!!

Carolyn, this card is awesome in so many ways. Great use of the hoarded paper. Always hard to part with it, but this card is well worth it. I love the horses image .....so joyful to see them in full gallop. I love the layered look stars too and the colours all make for a perfect 'male' card.
