Using Teresa's Dirty Dozen sketch for this month, and SU's retired Wild Wild West, this card is to honor Jessica, (DD of Mutnik) who was injured while riding her horse. Please read about Jessica here Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday.
Main image (Ed) was watercolored and framed over two different DP's. I stitched the edges and added gems and brads.

WOW, wow, wow!!! Pat, I really don't know how you bring elegance to a Western card - LOVE the mesh, raffia and hardware. That man is just so COOL, and so, well you know, just so...you KNOW what I mean.... : )
