Hello!
Here is a "view" of the ranch. I made this card for a co-worker. It was her birthday today and since she has been a big help, I wanted to surprise her. Of course everyone in the office wanted a card but it wasn't their birthday. I used the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge 11 for inspiration.

Recipe:
Paper: Creamy Carmel, Chocolate Chip, Texture Rawhide, Apple Cider DS, and Very Vanilla.
Ink: Ranger Distress ink Frayed Burlap, Stazon Timber Brown and Versa Mark.
Stamps: SU! Bareback, Sanded BG, & Wonderful Words. Use "Celebrate" inside the card.
Assc: Classy Copper embossing powder, Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon, string, buckle and a candle.
Very vanilla and the DS paper were distressed with frayed burlap. The Very Vanilla was torn. The DS paper was crumpled then burnt using a candle. The textured rawhide was torn. Background stamp "Sanded" was used with Timber Brown on the chocolate chip paper. The inside of the cards was distressed and stamped using the sanded bg. Image was embossed using the classy copper powder. A buckle with distressed grosgrain ribbon and string finished off the card. You can double click the photo for a better look. :)
Very cool CARD! I am sure your co-worker is going to love it! I love the western theme!
