This is the 44th week of A Card a Week Challenge. One card a week--for 52 weeks--with a preset challenge for each month. October is make a masculine card--and most card makers know that is a challenge! Every Tuesday in October, I made a masculine card for my monthly challenge.
For my final card in October, I used one of my favorite masculine sets from Stampin' Up called Harvest Blessings. I water colored tractor image and especially the tractor red, as it is a Farmall! It is looks just like the Farmall H or M that I drove all the time on the on the farm where I grew up. I also used the Diamond Plate embossing folder for the background as it looks like tire tracks. I did not add any other embellishments as I wanted the image and sentiment to be the star! I think this can be a birthday card or a thinking of you card or a just because card! And--I think it honors farmers who work so hard to put food on all of our tables!
I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.
