Yikes, I cannot stay away from the IC today. Stef, I just love your challenge!
Pat Smethers sent me some fabulous cowboy images a bit ago and I've been itching to use them. When I saw the cowboy boot here: http://www.cwdkids.com/servlet/quagg...cat=boys-shoes, I knew I had to use one of the images!
I can't find the one in particular that I somewhat CASED from Pat's gallery, but it appeared that she stamped this image on dp. Well, I had this image on white cardstock, so I stamped over it with a bg stamp in TH Tea Dye then sponged it with Really Rust.
I used a new embossing folder from Sizzix on sponged SuedeTex paper and layered that over textured copper paper.
I used copper brads that were a gift from Anne Ryan, thanks Anne, and a couple of horseshoe charms.

OMG, M, you were so BRAVE to do the MM sketch. I think I'm chickening out this week. But, my goodness, I'm so glad you didn't!! This is totally, totally AWESOME my friend!! Your image is fantastic and all those details are right on the money M. I LOVE the charms, the brads, the lacing. You really nailed this one my friend. How wonderful that Pat sent you some c/boy images. I haven't checked her gallery in awhile and I love it. I hope I can get to it. Great job the DIVINE Ms. M!!!

AWESOME card. I love it!! Love you horseshoes, brads, image and colors. So manly!! I am still going to the mailbox daily looking for that card from you!! It must have gotten lost in the mail. The MMDesign Team thanks you for playing with us this week. When I first saw this sketch I couldn't even imagine that I could do it. I thought it was a quite a challenge but very effective when done!!

Shut up! Four cards in one challenge - and ALL of them outstanding! Wow are you on a roll! LOVE this! The charms are so great - and the way you've done the twine with the brads looks great!
