I never used these fun desert background stamps when this set was released so I decided today was a good day to get them out and ink them up! I had this idea in my head of doing a muted background and spotlighting a section in colors - so here it is! Both the background panel and the colored panel are popped up on foam tape. The stamps are from Way Out West and Back In the Saddle - two super fun sets for the cowboys (and girls!) in your life. Click on the card to see it larger.

ReplyDeleteI came to see your Waltzingmouse card and got caught off guard by the "dandelion" card. I will have to take back every time I called them "weeds" Your card is BEAUTIFUL. You gave them an almost magical quality.
Then I saw your Western masculine card and was struck by that as well. I like how you focused in on the horse and rider with the brilliant colors. Really fabulous!!!
