The Flourishes World Card Making Day challenge is to make a card that represents where you live, check out the details of the challenge here, http://flourishes.org/blog/page/2/. I chose this pretty country christmas image to represent my home in Washington State. I have to smile because I work in a place that is 'business casual' and I'm constantly trying to figure out how to incorporate my cowboy boots!! For the card, I heat embossed the image and watercolored with reinkers and added a couple extra trees to represent my extra green state. At the bottom is a piece of wrought iron scrollwork (sizzix die) and a gingham knot to match my cowboy's kerchief.
