I'm going a little country today. Todays image is from "Raisinboat" stamps. The set is called "Gals on Mountain View Drive". It's a very cute set and also has a gal on a motorcycle.
For todays card I used the cowgirl image. Here it is;
The background was airbrushed with my Copic markers, to give the appearance of land and sky. After this was done I cut around the edge with a pair of deckle scissors. The mat paper was from a set from " The Angel Company" called "Winchester". The main mat for the card was a sticker paper in a wood grain.
The glitter dots used on the corners are from "Jesse James Beads". Check this site out, they have some very useful embellishments to use on cards. A little hemp bow finished the card. The horses were stamped in a "Briliance" "Coffe Bean" ink. The last thing I did was to cute out the main image, the cowgirl, an popped it up. The line of horses were form "Stampabilities".
Of course I colored the image with Copic markers. The colors used were;
Face; E000,E00,E01
Blouse; Y02,Y06,Y08
Hat &Boots; E11,E13
Hair; Y23,YR23,E35

Yee Haw Bob, well done! ;)
Love the use of the woodgrain backing, and your Copic airbrushing is great! I really, really want an airbrush now!

Bob, that is a darling card. Even people not hooked on "cute" will enjoy this. I had not seen the Raisinboat stamps before, and will have to check them out.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bob, what a really cute cowgirl, she makes you want to right out and ride a horse. Sorry I havent been around in a while. But, the computer died and now I am back. Your work just gets better and better. Wish I was close enough to you to take lessons.
