Julia, thanks for the great challenge. I bought this stamp about a year or so ago and couldn't think how to use it. Today's banner day was the perfect push I needed.......details....
Since I hardly ever use sentiments on my card, I had to go to Curt for advice. This gave him a great idea...."Advertise w/Curt!". If you follow the MMTPT challenge you will know what I am speaking about here. Otherwise, you will just think I'm a tad off. hehe
Anyway, Curt hired Riley Moose here to fly his banner over the foot hills advertising to advertise! Make sense? Hope so.
My images were stamped and clear ep'd. Coloring was done with prisma pencils and gamsol. The hills were sponged using my Mutnik hill stencil. The sky was chalked in using chalk pastels and a q-tip. Added doodles to the hills and image panel edge.
Put this on an orange card that I stamped with sunset orange using my Mutnik square stamp then clear ep'd.
Well, that's it for today. Look for more of Curt's products to pop up from time to time....hehe......TFL :0)...dang,.....can't get that cow out of my head.
Hi Sis! Hi NC Sis!

You really nailed this "banner" challenge! Riley looks to be having the time of his life flying around the foothills. I hope he gets some takers for his banner.

Too cute! Good to see that Curt's entrepreneurial activities are ever expanding. Business must be good if he can hire Riley to fly the plane for him. Awesome card Cathy! Your creativity is amazing.

Bwahahaa! Does Riley know what a great entra-manure Curt is???? Riley is always getting into all kinds of stuff too but betcha he doesn't make money like Curt makes money.... Did you every ask Curt if we were ever gonna get a cut??? Didn't we agree on me 60%, you 30% and Curt 10%? Snort!
That does add up to 100% doesn't it???
OMG! There you go again....making awesome Curt cards even when Curt is not there! Awesome banner!!! Tee hee!
