A big congrats to Cathy, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a wonderful gallery and it was hard to chose just one. I finally went with THIS card to case. I kept the layout but flipped sides with the embellishment additions, used different images & made mine a birthday card instead of Christmas.
A while back, I used another Deep Red Stamps image ( Here) which I think they must have liked because they were kind enough to send me another image. Being a native Texan, this funny little cowboy really appealed to my sense of humor & I know he will be terrific for cards going to my family still in Texas. So I colored him, die cut using a little out of the box technique with a stitched rectangle, added a greeting & some more layers. I die cut the hat & made a lasso out of twine. I tell you, this ol' cowpoke & the expression on the "fake" horse's face just crack me up.
Congrats again, Cathy! Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & the Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

This card is fabulous, Julie. I love the image and may have to do a little shopping!! Your coloring is fabulous. I topped by your blog and noticed how you tied in the barbed wire you used on the blue panel with the inside of the card. Great details. You card makes me wish I was from Texas. Thanks for joining in with the festivities and honoring me with your great CASE.

Julie, you card is FABULOUS...and what a hit it will be with your family back in Texas! Your coloring always leaves me agape...just sensational. The image is a truly fun one with the expressions of both characters.

What a fun image! I love the die cut hat and the twine as a lasso!
