Serape on the Side
>> Friday, May 4, 2018
Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Since tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo, I have a southwest theme card & I made a serape to go down the side. This started out w/ the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge & when I saw the picture below, it looked like a Cinco de Mayo fiesta to me so that was the inspiration for my card.
To make the serape on the side, I used two plaid images, which until you stamp them across each other, are just stripes. I inked the stripes using Tombow markers in red, yellow & green then colored a wide strip & used fringe scissors on it to make the lower border. The image was stamped, colored & die cut w/ a little out of the box to keep the boot tip & rope from being cut off. I used Prismacolor pencils to add the sunset colors behind the image. For the greeting, I stamped it once in the Morocco ink, moved it a tad & stamped it again in brown ink to get the slight shadow.
Here's a look at the inside & below it are the markers I used.
Supplies:
stamps: DRS Designs - Better in Cowboy Boots , Cowboy Garb , Lg Orig Plaid , Open Plaid (inside: Saddle Up Greeting )
paper: X-Press It white, Staples 110# white, lime, lavender
ink: Memento tuxedo black, Morocco, rich cocoa
accessories: Misti, Copic markers, Tombow markers, Prismacolor pencils, MFT stitched arch, basic stitch lines dies, fringe scissors

So fun Julie!! Your serape definitely jumped out at me first, but then led me straight to the sunset behind the Cowboy Garb - beautiful! Love the 2 color greeting too! One thing .... how have I lived all these years and not know there was such a thing as fringe scissors????
