Two fun challenges today. Over the winter, I participated in a card swap on the Kit and Clowder Facebook group. My partner, Willie Carter, sent me these amazing die cuts in her sweet card. There are so many spectacular silhouettes, so I couldn't resist finally using them (what am I saving them for) for Angie's Silhouette challenge. So, technically, these came from Australia, so I shouldn't call them cowboys, but I've forgotten how to say cowboy in Australian. And why not combine this fabulous silhouette with Dina's Stars and Stripes challenge? There's a reason I chose this particular die cut with the fence that coordinates with the striped card base that I used. I masked off the sun and used the sponge & spritz technique. Then I added a star that I coated with glittery EP. I will mail this to the Tea Party destination, because I had wanted to include a more masculine card in the envelope.

Wow Jen this looks fabulous. I've got this die so shout out when you need more. Stockmen and jackaroos are what we call our Cowboys. Love everything about this.

Fantastic sunset and great die cuts! I totally know what you mean about what am I saving this for...that is how I got the huge pile of stuff that I am trying to use up on my table. I am more than half done with the year but not half done with the pile...so I keep at it with every card I make trying to use stuff up. Great card for the Birthday Bash!
