I created this for two different challenges. When I saw Julia's ways to use it challenge today I knew I could combine it with my TSC challenge for tomorrow. This week for the Twisted Sister's challenge we were to case a fellow sister.. I chose this card by Pat Smethers. She had cased jojot on her featured stampers day...
I sanded all of the edges and the main panel after it came through the cb pumpkin folder. I didn't realize the core of this paper is white so I had to ink over it..

Holy Cow! This is just gorgeous. So rich in detail and the color is awesome. Love the cowboy. You and I almost did a similar color too.

Holy Cow! Now sister, pay no attention to Holly (Toy) who says she wants this card! I say no more than - you know my address! Lol! Ai yi yi! I am sooo casing this! (does that make this a case of a case of a case?) You have no idea how much your art has influenced my card making Dawn. I have almost every card of yours in my favs, and I really study your work. Your distressing, and cb plays so well with this image. I say we get some pine boughs and make this one a Christmas card! Yikes! Gorgeous. I may have to get that image. Hugs to you sweet friend. So glad you felt well enough to play. LYMI XXXOOO

Dawn, this is awesome. I loved Pat's card and yours is right up there with it. The rustic western style is so masculine and you were able to make masculine look "good" which is a feat in and of itself!! Great job! TFS!
