Lots of texture and stamping!  I had to desaturate the color on the first card because I could not get the red to show up right!  150 photos later, this is what you get! waaah… lol  (red is still not right)

These stamps aren’t on the site yet… but here’s a list of the stamps I used…

E3767 Ranch Brands
D3758 Ride ’em Cowboy
D3757 Wild Mustang
K1495 Heart  (I liked it because the perimeter of the heart reminded me of barbed wire)

G3771 Buggy
P3801 Bird
C3802 Daisies
C4106 Where Flowers Bloom HERE

Look at the wonderful mats… Perfect Layers tools (link in the sidebar)… love ’em!

Off to get a hair cut… have a great day…sounds like we’re gonna get lots of snow today and tomorrow… looking forward to the white!  ttul!

All to true… time flies…a lot of Marianne Design dies in action here…the newest die is the branch, then the clock (I embossed it instead of cutting it), the flowers, the leaves and the frames are all from Marianne Design!

A little bit of inking with Dusty Concord Distress ink and the ink blending tool…

The butterfly die is embossed like my video HERE…

5 1/2 inches square is the size…

Linking to the Cards Blog Challenge – their sketch inspired this card : )

I think Tilda with Heart Arrows (cupid) is quite the cutie!  I spent so much time coloring her that I ran out of time, so she is just matted with card-stocks and the Perfect Paper Layers tools…love them, I DO!!!  Layered on pattern paper and then to kraft card-stock.  The card measures 6×6.  Tilda is colored with Distress Ink reinkers on Langton Hot Press watercolor paper.
