I made this for my DTGD challenge. There's still time to play in the dirt w/ us and you have until Aug 6 to upload. Did I mention PRIZES?? Get all the dirt here:Dare to Get Dirty 2012

Well, this is the view I wish I had! And I wouldn't mind a pair of them highfalutin' boots, neither! Think if I call up Nocona Boots and ask them to make a pair, they'd go for it? Anyway, the inside says "Have a Texas sized Birthday" and this one is going to my Dad. He still lives in Texas. I don't think he'd wear the kinda girlie looking boots, but he'll like the view, too.
For my inset window scene, I sponged on the greens at the bottom and the blue and purples at the top. Since the green and purple don't play well together, I left just a smidge of white between the two. When I had the color intensity I wanted, I stamped the silhouette scene on top then die cut it. I cut a very narrow white layer to back it, then put it back on top of the background it was cut from. The white layer has a larger rectangle die cut window and I added some backing layers to elevate it slightly. The little bluebonnets and sentiment were stamped directly on the bottom. I had a little of the sponged background left, so I stamped the boots and hat onto this and cut them out. The finished card is 6.50 x 5.00.
Thanks so much for looking! Details will be on my blog: The Write Stuff
