Howdy Partner

Hello & happy Thursday everyone! I didn't really have a plan for making this card because I was just playing around with my newest cartridge - "County Fair". I have wanted this cartridge since it first came out, but even on eBay, it was always really expensive. I ended up getting it for $29 in an eBay auction, which I thought was pretty good. I found some Jolee's embellishments that have been in my stash forever & the card just sort of came together. I'm actually quite happy with it. Our 3-year-old Goddaughter is coming over tonight so I think I'll give it to her. She's the only "lil buck-a-roo" in our lives anyway, lol.

So . . . here it is! . . . .





The base is Kraft cardstock, sized at 5 x 7". The background cloud paper is from a Debbie Mumm paper pack. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz ink in "Walnut Stain". The bird & the fence are from the "County Fair" cartridge & the sun is from "Simply Charmed". The rope, saddle, horseshoes & bandanna are from Jolee's. I used the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder on the fence. All of the colored papers are from the color palette on the "Enjoy The Seasons" Imagine cartridge.The bird's face is from the Peachy Keen stamp set called Critter Faces Large. I used Prismacolor pencils to color his beak & to whiten his eyes. It's kind of hard to see but the bird is standing on a little piece of dirt paper, which I got from a John Deere paper pack. I used Stickles on the grass & the sun rays & Glossy Accents on the sun & the little feather thingy on the bird's head.

The sentiments & stars are from 3 different stamp sets by K Andrew Designs. . . .

  12. Howdy & Congrats! Just came from Little Scrap Pieces & you won the Fun Fri Ch Use Green. Like the card you created for the Western scene. Especially like the saddle embellishment. I want County Fair cartridge and agree that it is expensive so you got a good deal on ebay for it.
