This little twinchie says "HOWDY" as the shrink plastic cowboy dangles from a piece of fun wire.
I used a 2" x 2" base, layered with cardstock. The sky has a few pieces of mulberry paper clouds and the two rolling hills are embossed with a Fiskars grass texture plate. The barn is a novelty button. I removed the shank so that it could be secured flush with the surface.
My little cowboy was made with shink plastic which I cut with my Big Shot and Scallop Square Nesties I stamped it with a Lizzie Ann Cowboy stamp using Stazon. When I was coloring I didn't like the way the stazon would blend with my sharpie markers so I stayed clear of the lines. When it was shrunk using my embossing gun I added a layer of diamond glaze to the top so tha t it would be shiny.
I used the Alphabits and square punch on this twinchie but the horse is an image from the internet. Reminds me of the movie "Home on the Range"
