I made this card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge. Congrats America on being the featured stamper. You deserve it -- your cards are darling!
My mother-in-law is way into riding horses. Ever since I saw a card in the MFT gallery (that I can't find to link to now :( ) that had the MFT cowgirl holding a wreath instead of her rope, I wanted to do the same idea for a card for my MIL. When I was browsing America's gallery, I came across this card ( These Boots Are Made For Walkin', CC189 by Cards_By_America at Splitcoaststampers ) and knew it was the one I wanted to CASE.
Here's what I changed about the card:
1. The color scheme
2. How and where I added the sentiment
3. I didn't put the rhinestones in rows next to the image like in America's card, because I put them on the wreath instead.
4. I added a big snowflake for some extra pop.
