\n<\/a>As a native Texan, I really love this sweet little Cowgirl<\/a><\/span>! Seriously, I want to go put\u00a0my boots on right now…just need to decide which pair, lol! She is a joy to color and to give her a little something special, I did what I call an “into the window” treatment. A little like out of the box, but it goes the other direction. After stamping & coloring her with Copics, I die cut it first using the larger die, then used a craft knife to cut around the top and sides in order to slip the lower left corner of the smaller die under her.
\nBelow,\u00a0\u00a0you can see that the image was cut on the lines just enough to slip the die under.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lasso
\n<\/a>Below, after die cutting I put the larger die back in place and embossed them both.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/a>\"Lasso
\n<\/a>And below is how it looks finished…all ready to attach.
\n<\/a><\/span>\"Lasso
\n<\/a>These are the Copics I used to color her.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lasso
\n<\/a>I\u00a0used a leftover frame I colored w\/ Copics and a die cut circle w\/ the star concho from the Bandana die.<\/span>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chips
\n<\/a>After die cutting all the pieces, I stamped and colored the greeting and attached them to an embossed background. The poker chips took a little patience to paper piece all those little parts. These are the Copics I used for the greeting.<\/span><\/p>\n
