Wednesday July 14: Southwest Cowboy
So the fun and excitement continues! Today Southwest Cowboy is featured. Can I just tell you how much I love this set? I cannot put it down! This is such a great set for any of the guy`s in your life. And sometimes...let`s face it! It is difficult to come up with fresh and new ideas for those manly cards. Well this is just the ticket! The papers, stamps, and darling boot charm all come from Mark`s Finest Papers . The inside of the card is stamped with a fabulous rearing horse. Hope you like it! I went clean and simple with this one.


I just had to do another one and since watercoloring is one of my favorite mediums I just had to paint another desert sky. I masked with a small circle and just had fun with the background. After the watercolors dried I went back and sponged with Distress Inks. Stamped the cute sentiment and added a charm. And at Mark`s Finest Papers you can find top quality watercolor paper, premium cardstock,Distress Inks, and this fabulous new stamp set! Thanks for looking and have a great day!
