Howdy!
Hi everyone! The kids have the week off from school, so my routine is off a bit. I did manage to finish this western-themed card last night, so I feel a big accomplishment! This also kind of qualifies for Beate's WSC40 (though my circle is quite a bit smaller). All of the stamps I used are from Starving Artistamps, and available here. I used my new Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder from Eclectic Paperie for the Close to Cocoa layer. All of the images are colored with my Copic Sketch markers, and trimmed out to mount on my "scene". I used my retired SU cloud stencil, Soft Sky ink, and a sponge to create the clouds. The sentiment was hand drawn. The distressing was done using the SU cutter kit tool. The brad is from the Stylized Silver Hodgepodge hardware kit.
My daughter will be four tomorrow. I have a cake to bake, and a card to make. Busy, busy...lol!
Thanks for visiting!
