I have to admit to getting lost navigating SCS somedays, I see challenges and references that I sometimes have trouble following through on.....one thing I have noted is people casing cards for the "Featured Stamper" - since the FS this week is someone who has left many sweet comments on my western cards I wanted to take the time to go through her gallery and honor her by casing one of her cards. Almost got lost looking through all of her beautiful work. But then this one caught my eye.
This is a stamp I have owned for a few years, and I have always had difficulty working with it, yet I love it. What better way to honor this sweet lady than to follow her directions on using this set and make her a Cowgirl card. Truth is I hope someday when I need new boots that I get me some kick a** red ones like these. Lynn (allee's) hope you like this, thanks for sharing how you inked each of these layers so I could finally get these boots done right. Thank you for all those times you have left such kind comments on cards I've created, you rock.

These boots (and card!) are awesome. I have it on good authority that red boots make for better dancing. There's a sweet ol' lady in my line dancing group who wears red boots frequently-- light on her feet and spry at nearly 90. I want to be like her when I grow up.
If I ever grow up...

Ah, Kush, a woman after my own heart - cowgirl, all the way! and I kin see y'all in these red boots the very next time you need a new pair! just sayin'.....
Love this stars 'n' stripes BG paper and those rusty stars - truly the best of embellishments for the boots. I know how much Lynn loves these western cards! Did you ever notice the "stars " that are in the largest oval ?(top, bottom and sides) This die was MEANT for a western card, and I love yours! Lymi
