I just made a card for Terry, who's the recipient of the Teaparty cards this week, (Terry is Charlene's, aka lilluvstampin, husband) - since there are some die-cut glittery stars, it fits the glittery Ways To Use It challenge today also. The stars are very sparkly but it doesn't show up well in the photo. Because Terry's a law abiding cowboy, I made some silver stars by heat embossing brads with silver ink and powder - to symbolize Terry's honorary SHERRIF's badge. I thought the red dp looked kind of like a bandana print, and the fonts used to make the sentiment are appropriately named STAGECOACH and STEAMER. I also used sewing on my card to represent the Clint Eastwood movie Hang 'Em High - if you want to know the connection there you'll have to check out the Teaparty Challenge!

You used perfect dp's to create a western card, Bridget! Pretty sparkly stars and brad stars as well, and personalizing the card was a touching thought too~

It really does look like a bandana in your background, so perfect for this challenge! I love the cheerful, bold colors and your beautiful stitches. The twine is a wonderful finishing touch!
