We are off to California to help Alicia the Cows little brother Curt - to either encourage him in his Stunt work or try and find a different career. I have found this handsome young singing cowboy that would love to teach Curt to sing... Maybe even audition for American Idol.
Thank you Pat Smethers for this sweet image...
I made the bandana background with paisleys and flowers, dotted and drew in the lines.Cut into four smaller squares, matted with white, burgundy and crushed curry. Stamped the cactus scene onto vellum, tore the upper and lower sections, tore three more pieces of vellum and layered overtop. Sewed edges. Water coloured the image with Stampin up reinkers, cut out image, tied on the little piece of rope. I used my embossing tool on the back of the image to give it more dimension. I had these little wooden cactus and the silver skull hardware in my stash - perfect for my desert scene.

Great details! Did you know those little shapes are called Persian pickles? Read a book, "The Persian Pickle Club" and found out that little fact.
I think singing lessons would be a great idea. Moo! Moo! gets old real fast.
