Card base is like dark orange brown, then dp, then the found image that I colored then die cut, sponged sky and green below and some grass----popped it on dp. Made tag and used craft string and the stamped happy birthday---a belated one wrote inside. TFL--real cute in REAL LIFE as puter never gets it right.

Lovely soft colouring on your great image, DonnaJeanne. The plaid paper is great for a masculine feel, and I really like the fibres you used on the birthday tag.

I love the way you made this a very masculine card with the plaid / browns / rugged bison then added a twist with the lacy scalloped edged white frame. Beautifully executed!

What a wonderful buffalo image and the plaid BG works so well with it too. The birthday tag with the twine adds a wonderful texture. Thank you so much for making a card for my uncle to help lift his spirits. It truly means the world to have my crafty friends take the time to try and help cheer him up.

Great card. Love your buffalo image and the colors you used. I think the plaid is perfect with him and adds so much color but i a very masculine way. And the loopy border is a great touch. Smile-getter for sure and Neil is sure to love this.

Wonderful coloring of your image ... and the framing is really striking! Great idea to add the textile pieces to your sentiment!
