Lisa is hostess for this week's Ways to Use It challenge, WT604 Fancy Fold. All the stars aligned for me today. This week's Z Box fold tutorial fits in perfectly with Lisa's challenge. I had a panel I created with the faux leather tutorial from last week's TLC challenge. Then I saw this week's TLC606 Bandana TLC challenge, and knew they were all meant to be combined Western style!
I created my base following the Z box fold tutorial, then moved on to the panels. For the faux leather technique, I stamped a small map and compass, and die cut for my inside panel. Next up was the bandana tutorial, die cut for the front panel and cut into strips. I stamped and colored the boots, then used the Out of the Box Nestabilities technique to extend the toe of the boot and flowers out from the image panel. I embossed the image panel, left the die on and added a soft turquoise around the boot. I cut the hat, cowgirl and Happy Birthday sentiment with my Slice and sponged some color on the hat. Stamped a sentiment in the center panel, assembled the pieces and added some copper brads to complete. This is definitely a record for me, six techniques for one card and lots of fun! TFL

SO IMPRESSIVE!!! Now this is pure genius to incorporate so many challenges and each compliment one another! Great design concept, your faux leather is subtle, and the boot image is spectacularly colored! Cool use of the brads too!

I still have a cowgirl image I was going to use for a card for my granddaughter. I may have to case your card and then I could get six challenges in one card, too. Cause I have no chance of doing that otherwise. You will hold that record for quite a long time, Carla. Your faux lacing on the sentiment panel and using the out of the box technique on the boots really elevates the impressiveness of this card!
You are the challenge queen today lady!

Love it when all the pieces fall into place, Carla this has so many fab elements from the faux leather, to the fantastic bandana pattern and the wonderful fold that was right there to accommodate it all. Love the colours.
