Hi, Braker Fans. Sorry I missed
posting last week but it was a hectic one and I was on vacation too. Now I need
a vacation after my vacation…LOL My DT card this week is all about my lifestyle
lately. My DH and I adopted 2 Mustangs from the BLM a couple weeks ago and they
were delivered last Thursday. I had so much shopping to do to get ready for
them. We had to get tack, hay, a new gate for the corral, bedding, etc. I was
so tired every night. Sorry to say though I hardly got a chance to sit in my
craft studio all week which was part of my plan.
Anyhoo…on to my card. I used
this sweet stamp called “Cowboy Boots” from the IBFS store and since I’m a
country lover it’s a perfect stamp for me. I love my boots and hats and they
are not always for looks, they are for working. They truly have a purpose if
you live in the country.
I saw an adorable red cowboy
hat at Murdoch’s in the children’s section and I thought it was the sweetest thing.
So it inspired me to color my hat red. And I added a little Light Blue Viva Décor
to the feather icon to make it look like a Turquoise stone.
I used Bazzill cardstock for my
base and mating. My DPs are from My Mind’s Eye, Sunshine collection. I distressed
around my image and DP panels with Walnut Stain and jute twine was wrapped around
the card several times and tied in a bow. I finished it with a few Prima
flowers and pearls.
These are the Copics I used to
color my image.
Supplies:
Cardstock – Bazzill
Designer Papers – My Mind’s Eye
Distress Ink – Ranger
Pearls/Gems – Recollections;
Viva Décor
