Lasso your heart

This week at Gingersnap creations,  they are continuing the Wild West theme with a supply challenge GC102. That's right partner the supply is a lasso!  No really, the supply is twine. Tee Hee. Come visit and join the rootin' tootin fun, or just view the Design Teams artful creations. So, this little cowgirl from 1880s in her fancy buckskin dress and big floppy straw hat just spoke to me. I gussied her up to lasso a cowboy's heart and used her for my design team submission.

This card started with painting the image with Alcohol inks from Ranger and then I added some silver star stickers from the dollar store. (I find some of my greatest embellishments there.) Layered her on some turq and pink paper that was edge kissed with lime ink. Then it was time for the silver flouish stickers, gems and a silver doily rosette. Every cowgirl needs a rosette; don't ya think. Painted the twine silver and added the word snippets and our little cow girl was ready to round herself up a partner.
Follow your heart this week,
Always, gerri
