Fun color challenge today! The orange color on my w/c bg is actually what happens when you mix the melon color w/ the yellow.
I used Brushos on the bg, dried it w/ heat gun, then splattered a little gold acrylic paint & split it into sections. Having them separated like this was very challenging to say the least. I placed them on top of the die cut turquoise bg w/ temporary adhesive & stamped the silhouette on top. Leaving the turquoise mat in place, I removed the orange w/c layer & stamped the silhouette again.
I liked the look the textured turq c/s gave to the ground area, but not so much on the cowboy. So I stamped him again on a separate piece & fussy cut him. Yikes! That was some fancy cutting, let me tell you! Then I had to go over all the cut edges w/ a black marker to keep them from showing. I added the greeting & big star frame to finish.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this card is amazing. I love that you mixed the so saffron and melon mambo Colors to get the beautiful orange background for your southwestern scene. All of your attention to detail really paid off on this very special card.
