Today's two challenges were fun to mix! Robin challenged us to make a western themed card, so I couldn't resist the Yeehaw set. And it combined perfectly with Dina's challenge to use a patterned background for our image. I knew I had this bandanna DP that my sister gave me (leftover from her scrapbooking days). I stamped the images on the DP in Stazon and then I painted them with Distress Paints. I framed everything with silver marker because silver feels western to me. While my paint was drying I made a little lasso with jute twine, because I always fall in love with those little lassos on everyone else's card. After the paint dried I went in with my gel pens to add details (that I had painted over) and highlights. I'm glad for Dina's challenge, because I really like the worn result of the image stamped and painted directly on the bandanna paper. And how great is this wood grain DP from The Paper Studio? It's got a great southwestern pattern on it! I had a ton of fun making this card.
Thanks for the great challenges today, Ladies!

Great way to combine both challenges! I love the look of your stamping and coloring over the bandanna dp and perfect images and dp for the Western theme!
