A Little Country

Howdy friends!

I am getting ready to go on an 8 day cruise and can't wait to take a break from life for a bit. :) 

I wanted to share these cards today from Whimsy's last release.  The first card uses the Rocky Range and Pines Die set.  I created the scene and popped certain elements up with Crafty Foam Tape.  The cowboy is from the Range Riders Die set.  I made him look "rusty" using Grit paste, inks in brown, orange, and black and a bit of gold.  I added the fence, a sentiment strip and the frame was from the Mitered Frames Dies and paired it with the Cottage Core papers. The wooden stars have been a part of my stash I think forever! 

My second card uses the image from the Cowgirl Life stamp set. I added a bit of color to her hair and shirt with Copics and cut the image out using the Wavy Pierced Rectangle Dies. I distressed it with brown inks and added another layer behind it using the Antique Frames Die set. I used the Cottage Core papers again because I love the rustic feel of them! Jute and fabric were tied horizontally to finish off the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful 4th of July my American friends! :)

 

Howdy!

Howdy friends! I have two cards to share with you today using Whimsy Stamp's Range Rider Die set, the Rustic Mountain papers, and the Ropes and Barbs die set.  For the first card I wanted a feminine feel, so I paired the mountain paper with a soft pink card stock.  The paper was cut out using the Ropes and Barbs die set.  I cut out the silhouette image using black paper and the Range Rider Die set.  I popped it up with a bit of foam tape.  Everything was adhered to a dark green cardstock. Some twine and lace were tied to the top with a rustic button.

The sentiment is so fun! It is part of the Cowboy Obsession stamp set! I love the stitched look of it!

My second card uses the same products as my first card, but with the addition of the new Howdy Word and Shadow Die.  

For both the word and my gal here, I went crazy making them look "rusty."  Grit paste, paints in brown, orange, and salvaged patina. 

Thank you for stopping by today!
