Hello, Friends and Happy
Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. Our weather this week was so extreme!!!
I mean really, really, really extreme. We had 70 degree temps with high winds
and 7 inches of snow within 24 hours. So, the saying goes here in Colorado…I’ve
said this before…If you don’t like the weather, wait a few hours. And of course
with the temps and spring like conditions comes the spring heat. OMG, my ducks
are courting already and the birds are inspecting all of the bird houses around
the ranch. OK, so enough of that…
Our new challenge is up at Craft Your Passion and this week our theme is “Paper Piecing.” This is such a fun
technique, if you’ve never tried it, you gotta cuz it is so fun. OK, I'll say it again, it's so FUN! Our sponsor this week is AiFactory and I am
using “Cowboy” for my card. Very typical for me since I’m a ranch livin’ and
lovin’ cowgirl myself. And you gotta check out my DT girlfriends' projects too cuz they are awesome.
I used some digital papers for
my Cowboy’s hat, vest, boots, plaid shirt and bandana for the
paper piecing. I used Copics to color the remainder of my image’s skin, hair
and Cowboy’s chaps and belt.
I also wanted to enhance the
scene so I used my Mini Magnolia Butterfly Scene stamp as the background. The
wheat paper was heat embossed with Seafoam embossing powder from Ranger on
Bazzill cardstock using a Hero Arts stamp.
I added some dimensional
elements of punched stars and jute twine for the card and finished it off with
some gold stickles for the stars on my image’s chaps and hat as well as Copic Silver
Spica for his belt buckle.
I used so many Copics for this
image especially the background that I didn’t take a photo of the colors. Sorry,
but the rubber band broke and that was all she wrote. Time to skip that part…LOL.
I hope you will join in the fun for this Challenge cuz you are gonna love it.
I’m entering this card in the
following challenges.
