Here it is, my first ever custom card! The request came from a woman who plays a Draenei hunter and is in a relationship with a fellow who plays a Draenei shaman in the game World of Warcraft.
Hunters use bows and shaman use totems. It was a lot of fun coming up with a template for a totem (each race has totems that look different). I used a chipboard parenthesis with waxy for the bow. For the "flame" around the fire totem I used white ribbon colored with a SU marker.
The tree embellishment is from SU Thoughts & Prayers and the sentiment is from CTMH Picture Perfect.
Obviously I couldn't post the picture until the woman gave the card to her love, so here it is... a month later! I'm happy with how it turned out (and I kept the template for the totem!) I just hope HE likes it too!

This came out AWESOME! He will surely appreciate the hard work you put into it! Great idea about using the parenthesis for the bow!!!
Maria
Oh stunning - and very creative! x0x0
This is really neat and so creative,all the things you used to get the bow, ice job! Now shouldn't you be heading off to that beautiful lake, it may give you ideas for a card :)
Wow, you rose to the challenge brilliantly! I'd have run a mile, LOL!
How interesting that you were able to make a truly personal card.
I like how you used the tree for leaf accents on the sides of your card. :)
Wow you did a really good job on this. Be careful - novelty items like this catch on quick. You may be making a ton of these things judging at how nicely this card came out! :)
Very pretty Ruth! The color combos are stunning!
Great card Ruth.... found your blog on Splitcoast in the Blog Comment thread... I too am a Calgary stamper and card maker. Was wondering if I could add your blog to my list of Canadian bloggers... http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com
Let me know!
This is fantastic!!! I have not seen anything like that before. I love how masculine yet at the same time you balanced it out with the beautiful branches! Brilliant! The fellow will luuuuuuuuv it!
