Howdy cowpokes! This here little lady is ready come what may cause it ain't her first rodeo. LOL This is "Howdy" and I picked her to make my card for this weeks "Anything Goes" challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil.
For my card I used some woodgrain for the background and then stamped some swirls in Vintage Sepia for some interest. I die cut some chipboard stars and covered them with DP and used a chipboard buckle that I covered with Distress Ink and Crackle Accents. I then cut a strip of grunge paper and used Distress on it also, threading it through the buckle.
Anything goes is easy peasy so get out a Mo image and come join in the fun for your chance at a $5.00 gift voucher to Mo's store.
Wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement about my announcement yesterday and thought I'd share this photo of my backyard after yesterday's huge thunderstorms. I think we got 4-6 inches in about five or six hours. Lots of flash flooding. Hubby's poor garden lies beyond the scuppanong vines in the background or at least it did before it floated away to the Gulf. It's supposed to rain some more today. YAY!

This card is such fun, Tracy. I love the image and what you've done with her...you bring her to life and up the cute factor (which is already huge with a Mo image) with your colouring. The stamping on the woodgrain is a wonderful detail. The buckle and belt are an awesome idea as are those stars. And the sentiment makes me laugh. This card has it all going on!
This is such an awesome card; from that 'makes me smile' sentiment to your beautifully colored image! Love the woodgrain DP with belt and buckle! Congrats on the GDT spot; you always bring those images to life! Wow! That was some storm! So disappointing to loose all that hard work, hope everything dries off quickly! Hugs
Oh Tracy, This card is spectacular!!!! Oh how I love it!
I haven't seen this adorable cowgirl and I love how your embellishments mirror the cowgirl theme. :)
YEEHAW!!!! Dadgum girl...you got yourself a sassy little country cutie here! Distress inks, crackle, wood grain, buckle and attitude = perfection. :) The vintage sepia really adds amazing eye candy to the card too. Beautiful coloring as always.

Brilliant!! Hugs. Pat
