Hi everyone, I haven't got to do the IC challenge for several weeks~I always enjoy all the fun inspiration! Thanks Steph for a cute site~and thanks Sue for your sample. This was my inspiration; http://www.etsy.com/listing/90069633...-bib-laminated
I only had one boot image so I stamped masked and stamp again~got it on the first try~I was amazed. Cut out with a Spellbinder, sponged with VersaMagic sea foam and DI vintage photo. Punched the tiny flowers and glue on, added liquid pearls to the centers. Stamped the badge, colored the center star with a gold copic and cut out. Die cut two leaf flourishes, sponged and glued. The brown strip was paper peirced. I distressed the dp and sponged. TFL
Hope everyone is having a super Saturday! Hugs Lind

Well good for you to get that masking right on the first try; it's definitely not the easiest task to perform! I love how that pretty flourish even looks great on a vintage, cowgirl card like this one, Linda! You did a beautiful job with the inspiration piece~

My goodness, I would never think an old pair of boots could end up making such a beautiful card. Love the colors you chose and your details, the flourish, and those tiny flowers. Great inspired beauty.
