The grandchildren and I have so much fun creating with the Cricut Paper Doll cartridge, that I had to make one for Lane for his birthday card. I added lots of little details…chalked and inked everything, crumpled the card-stock for the band on his hat…stamped teeny paisley on the scarf…
I wanted his chaps to look like leather so I used a Magenta crackle stamp on them….
Then to make the rope look a little like twine/rope, I took my xacto knife and scratched it up….
a very fun cowboy to make….I’ve always loved paper piecing!!! Hope he makes you smile too!
