Cowboy

Hello it's time for a New challenge over at Totally Gorjuss, this week our Challenge is All About Boys! We want to see all your Boy themed cards/Projects. I am going to admit I make more girl projects than boys, I have more boys than girls but I think I like PINK better! Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Satmp, you will not want to miss this one!



I decided on this really BOY image from In2Stamps called Cowboy, colored with my Copic Markers and left it much plain, the papers I used are cowboy prints and just complimented my card with a Chipboard star covered with distress paint.



There is still plenty of time to win one of the new 14 stamps from In2Stamps giveaway, all you have to do is follow this Link and all the details are on the Blog. It's really easy to win and some of these stamps are Christmas, really cute and ready for your Holiday crafting!! Thanks for peeking in!!
