Seeing that this is what it looks like outside for most of the day - blazing hot and very sunny - this die and the bright water coloured background is just perfect.
I used a water colour background from my stash of ready mades and a gelli plate print as well to frame the scene.
Finished off with a Darkroom Door sentiment.
Hope you enjoy.

I love the sunrise you created. I think the cowboys go out early in the morning. Or maybe they are heading back it. Anyway, beautiful background! And I love the cowboy and cattle! Thanks for making this great card for Walt.

i'm sorry you're experiencing so much heat, come to WI, you'll cool off quickly. It is pretty here though, very fluffy white stuff, clean looking. Your cards for Walt and Cheryl are wonderful. The background of this card....whooooo, i love it.

Awesome card!!! I want to be where that heat is and also where I can see that much sunshine. Really depressing, rainy weather this winter.

WOW! Helen, what an amazing card, and the vibrancy of your background is stunning! The silhouette cowboy and his cattle really pop off the card, and I love how you've matted it. Stunning card and one with a perfect sentiment! Yes, as you and Walt both know, it's truly an adventure to get a new knee! He also had some hiccups (as we might say) with his, but he starts out-patient PT tomorrow. Another adventure for us! Hugs and love, sweet and dear friend! You are such a treasure! xoxo

Wishing you a beautiful day and start of a new week. Love you dearly! Big ole loving and warm hugs, precious friend! xoxo
