Congratulations, Pat, on being the FS this week! I love your gallery and all the fantastic inspiration you give us! I wanted to do a cowboy card for you - I'm sorry it's not a real hunky one like this gorgeous one I chose to CASE but it was the only image I've got! Mind you, even hunky MAN cowboys have to start small, don't they?!
I kept the same layout, but changed the image and colours, and omitted the rope.
I got the background image from the internet (Arizona desert) and reduced the opacity so it faded into the background more. The cowboy is a digital image from Pink Cat Studio which I coloured with the Gamsol technique, cut out and popped up with 3D stickers. The photo corners were given to me by Audrie (girlgeek101).
Thanks so much for stopping by!

They definitely have to start someplace so I guess it would have to be small! OMG this is darling. I know Pat will get such a hoot out of this. It's just too precious.

Ah, Sallie...look at you with this sweet lil cowpoke! I suppose they all gotta start out small, and this lil guy is precious! (can't you just hear his wee 'yee-haw'?) Too cute, m'am! Your background is incredible, and also food for thought! Lol- I keep looking at your image, and am so impressed with your fancy cut work! It is so perfect. Sallie, thank so much for playing and adding this cowboy to the gallery, you made me smile....again! Hugs....
P.S. Word about my image- it was from Google images. They have a ton of cowboys there, in case you are ever in need!

Sally, I never envisioned you doing a cowboy card but this is one manly cowboy. And, look at that sweet horse. This will make Pat smile from ear to ear. I love it!
