Aw...look how low his head is a-hangin'. Poor ol boy. He just got his butt whopped by the WWW man. It ain't bad being number two out west tho. Still a tough guy.
This image was sent to me by Ev, (Ks.Stamper) and is her favorite cowboy. Thought I would send her a note of thanks with her favorite guy.
I may have to get this one- I only had one image, so I think I will call this technique 'faux-masking', cause I had to carefully sponge all around him! The image is doubled backed and rests on two panels of faux leather. The clouds were made using a small cloud template sent to me by Deb Wood (Wooddeboraha) Thanks Purt- that lil thing is coming in handy!
Thanks Ev- I enjoyed playing around with this!

Sista!!! Heck of a card!!! Not only do I love the image but also how you put the whole thing together. Nothing says cowboy better than a little rusty orange! Your cloud effect is beautiful (love to see a pic of what it is Purt sent you to use)?

Wow, wow, wow, what wonderful coloring. You have done such an awesome job here and I love the colors. I thought this poor ole Joe had lost his best cowgirl to the WWW when I saw how beaten down he looked.
Even if he was beat by the WWW man, maybe he still got a good cow girl to make the pain go away. Super job, Pat.
