Happy Birthday, Outdoorsman!

Stamps:  Papertrey 'Through the Trees'.  Cardstock:  Kiwi Kiss textured, Creative Imaginations cherry wood, Papertrey white, Chocolate Chip, Copper.  Ink:  Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip.  Accessories:  Rectangle Nestabilities, Martha Stewart deer punch, SU chocolate felt ribbon, copper brad.

How do you make a masculine card for an outdoorsman?  Every year I'm at a loss, but this time around I was inspired by Opus Gluei's challenge #76 :  Wooden It Be Lovely?  Take a little real wood, add a deer, plus  only the very most masculine of ribbons, and you have my version of a manly card! 

Happy Birthday to my husband who celebrates his big day tomorrow.  We'll be celebrating by trying out the Zipline in Missouri so wish me luck!!
