I used some Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock along with DP from CTMH. The DP has a little blue in in so I sponged the Very Vanilla with Tumbled Glass distress ink and then stitched and distressed on there and also on the three panels. (My sewing machine actually cooperated a little better on this card! LOL) The image is framed using Spellbinders Label 10 - with embossing on the one in Soft Suede. After popping the image up on dimensionals, I added some Baker's twine and a SU brad. The sketch is from The House That Stamps Built and I'll enter it in their challenge.
I'll also enter it in the challenges at Stampin For the Weekend (Color Inspiration), Hot Shot Craft (One for the Boys), and Digi Doodle Shop (also, One for the Boys).
Thanks for stopping by.......

Great masculine card, love the colours and the image.
What a fabulous, masculine card! I love the design.
Hi Lynn, I like the way you framed the image on this card. We had an eagle land in one of our trees one day and he proceeded to groom himself. My children and I watched him do this for about 30 minutes. It was so awesome to see this. He was at the edge of our property, about 30 to 40 feet away, I think. I live in Minnesota by the Crow River west of the Twin Cities in a rural town. We see a lot of wildlife.
Quite regal!! I love it, Lynn!
A great "one for the boys" card. Thank you for joining us at HSC for our challenge.
