This is for yesterdays (since its 4 minutes after midnight ... hahaha) TLC challenge. I love these little shirts but never knew how to make them so this was really fun. My brother's birthday is coming up so I used it to make him a card instead of a FD card. Dad will get something with cars or architecture on it.
I used two new In-colors, River Rock and Wild Wasabi. I even used some of my True Thyme CS and ink (Print Pattern). All three colors look really nice together. For the shirt, I used Cosmo Crickets Wanted. The paper was a little thicker than other DPs so I struggled with it a bit. I also wanted the horses to be going in the right direction and *really thought it through* ..... note upside down horses.
hahaha. The scrap of paper behind the shirt is also CC Wanted.
I may try to make the shirt again tomorrow just to get the pattern in the right direction but for now I really like it. Its different from anything I've ever made before and I know he'll get a kick out of it.

If you had not thought about it so hard, your horses would be right side up! Besides that Carolyn, the only way this cowboy is gonna win any money is if his horse does go upside down which will score high! I know my stuff when it comes to this buckin' bronco stuff! LOL!
Your card is just adorable...your brother is gonna love it. Is this the same brother than made you jump when you were coloring your little girl/bear image? Do you think he really deserves this card? LOL!

Great card - love the colors and the way you did the print pattern just on the corners - I have this DP - so here is a new idea for me for a way to use it! It looks great as a shirt!
