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!
Seems I never get enough rubber stamps! Getting new ones is so delightful! This border stamp from Stampin Up is so charming to me…a dainty and delicate floral motif that comes on the wheel and I remove them as soon as I can! I was looking for a scrap to do something with and pulled this strip of blue/greenish card-stock out of the box and it was the beginning of this card. I used the Fiskars apron punch again, keeping the clean white look, a white prima flower and more punch pieces for the brown greenery. The kraft leaves look better IRL, in my opinion….hehe The text stamp is from Printworks and stamped in Versafine Black ink. I used Espresso Adirondack ink for the floral motif. A button from Making Memories and a little piece of jute in the holes. Now, to decide what to work on next!
