Great challenge! I love the bandana technique and it's been a while since I've done it. Bandanas usually make me think of cowboys so I went w/ the traditional red.
On white c/s, I masked off the areas around where my cowboy silhouette stamp (Magenta) would be and sponged on the colors, starting w/ the lightest first. Then I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to position my silhouette and stamped it w/ black ink. It's attached to a white piece w/ the lower border punched.
The greeting (Art Impressions), Rep. of TX circle (Deadbeat Deisgns) and cowboy post (Inkadinkado) were stamped on white and color sponged on. The two were cut out w/ the postage scissors.
My bandana bg was first stamped w/ a paisley square (Stampendous) and the cardinal ink. Then the paisley border and little flowers (Fiskar's) and the small paisley (SU) were stamped w/ black ink. Dots were added w/ a white gel pen.
Thanks so much for looking!

Your attention to detail is always fabulous, Julie. What a stunning western-themed card! I love how you used the picket fence punch, too. Beautiful work!
