Happy Saturday!! I am leaving on Monday to see Willie again, so of course I had to make him a card!   
     

              

Only 5 more to make now! I used the Red Bandit and Rawhide Floral from one of my favorie lines, the Flair Designs Horsin’ Around Line. I have it availiable in my store. Sorry, this card was very difficult to photograph, poor cowboy is totally washed out!

I stamped the cowboy on the watercolor paper using the stazon. Then I took a large flat watercolor brush and lightly colored the paper with close to cocoa. Then I highlighted the cowboy with Chocolate Chip, added the red bandada and sponged the colors!

Hope you all have a great day!!
