Once a year...whether you need it or not. Yeah, that is Shirley Mae's dilemma. She can get those dawgs in the tub once a week, but Tig? No, now that takes some doin'! See, Tig is on the road all year, collecting trail dust. Last year when she caught him she actually got his hat off, and that is where that fancy bathmat at in the background came from- tumbleweeds. This year, however, she only got him down to his drawers, but the hat, and boots, well...he insisted they needed a washin' too.
This card is for the Twisted Sisters challenge, issued by Perk to make a funny card and use a punch. I had no idea where to take this until I saw Holly's gallery. I used Copy Cat's Flourishes Christmas
as inspiration. I love Holly's layout! Copy Cat, your gallery was so much fun to play in. Many thanks to you for the encouragement you bring to this place!
Main image is from Viva Las Vegas and was a gift to me from Judy Kell. He is watercolored and the tub has a coat of Crystal Effects to make it shine. The inside sentiment is from Stampendous and reads "Kick up your heels! It's your birthday!"
Holly, hope your QFTD reign is delightful!
Thanks for looking!
Happy Birthday Tig!

This is a really cute card and I love your mix of dp's. You amaze me how you can put lace or flowers on a man card and it looks great. I wonder if you are saying my man's feet stink cuz he didn't take his boots off for his bath. I will send him your way for a while. Thanks for thinking of him.

AHHHHHHH! Nothin' like a good hot bath once a year, now he needs him a woman to scrub up his back all nice and make him look all purty!!
LOL - I think it is a pretty close to unanimous decision, Pat, that you can make them cowboy cards perfect no matter WHAT they give you in the challenge!!
Got that western lookin' DP - CHECK
them weathered brads on the denims - CHECK
the tumbleweed running across the card - CHECK
them BIG old cowboy BOOTS - CHECK
the 10 Gallon hat - CHECK
That "nekkid" cowboy in the tub - DOUBLE CHECK
What you got ?? - a super card to honor our KopyKat, Holly, for being the sweetest thing this side of the Rockies!!
Way to go, Patty Cakes!!
