Hello, hope everyone is having a good week.
I resized, framed and printed this Pattie's Creations Cowboy's Dream digi on Crafter's Companion white card stock, then colored the scene with my Castle Arts colored pencils. I also added the sentiment in PSE. I added some background color by stippling some Dried Marigold and Wild Honey Distress Inks. The A2 side-opening card base was cut from burnt orange SU card stock.
Fro the inside of the card, I created and framed this sentiment in PSE to print out, then I outlined it roughly with a black Promarker before adhering to the base.
A shot of the back of the card with the front. Used a scrap of Junkitz pp and a stamped and punched siggie.
I cut a Paper Roses barbed wire die from a small Junkitz pp scrap and trimmed it down as I only wanted the corner of the card covered because the die is way too big for the card's open space. But then the left side looked nekked to me so I stamped The Paper Studio's western star (which has been used plenty through the years as a branding symbol) with Versafine Clair Pinecone ink.
Before adhering my card front to the base, I colored the frame edge all around with a silvery-black glitter marker. Guys can handle a little glitter in the right color, right?
Last look.
Thanks for the visit and have a great day!

I love the whole card! Great choices! Reminds me of the old days visiting Opryland and Silver Dollar City at Branson! My husband and I have been to two concerts at the new Opry location as well as walking around downtown Nashville near the honky-tonks! :) Your card cover just reminds me of lots of that signage! Wonderful! Thanks for linking to FQGS! --Becca

A great card Aimeslee but I am still puzzling over 'nekked'. I decided to look it up and ended up on a site explaining different pronunciations of English English and American English words. I got side tracked but it was fun.
By the way I have posted my Christmas card to you. A mite early but with the postal services the way they are at the moment I decided to go ahead.

Love the western card. What is it about the west that has caught so many people's imagination? I like the open spaces and how you can see so far, which is not New England. Have a super Turkey day As I said last comment. hugs-Erika
