Tractor and Tags

It is the 15^thof the month and that means we get to show off another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostesses for October are Tami for the Divas and Darlene for the Dazzlers.

 

Darlene and Tami challenged us this month to make a masculine card.  The image that Judy sent was not truly an "image"--it was a tag that was stamped in 4 different color.  There were also some specific directions......  We had to use one of the tags on our card and make it masculine.  However, we could not stamp a sentiment on the card--it had to be an image.   I really liked all of the papers that Tami sent--there were many choices to match the colors of the tags she sent.

I used one of the great tractor images in one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets--Tractor Time.  Many SU lovers know that set is an older retired set and can be hard to find.  I admit that I did get my set on eBay a few years ago and I know I paid a pretty penny (dollars) for it--but I really like to use the set for masculine cards!  I used three of the buttons Tami sent and stacked them on top of each other and completed the pile with one of the orange rhinestones.  I also layered two green ribbons on the red panel under the tag.

 
Here is the inside of my card.   I think I am an overachiever as I used a tag on the inside too.....................

 

Tami and Darlene then asked us to share a funny holiday story about someone masculine in our life.  I am not sure I have a story that fits......  As many of you know I grew up on a farm and have many tractor memories from my dad and older brother. I really do not remember any "funny" stories as it seems all I remember from the farm was lots of hard work!
