Western Elegance

Yes, it's an oxymoron, but that's what my friend's wedding was - Western Elegance.  They even rode in on horses for the ceremony.  It's her birthday this month and since she is probably one of my oldest and dearest friends (over 30 years), I wanted to make her card special.  I cased this card from Linda Duke (Works of Heart) who had done a Father's Day card with a masculine shirt.  I hand drew the bib part to look more feminine and made myself a template.  Then I embossed the bib with a stamp set from Craft 2000 and Sparkle N Sprinkle's Gold Coast EP (#364).  I sponged all the pieces with a gold from Colorbox, added misc rhinestones and buttons and now all I have to do is add a verse inside.
I will be entering the following challenges:

    I really like this card. I've seen a few masculine shirts, but this one is really different. I just might need to "copy" it. But only if I can remember it. LOL. Great job.
