\"Howdy
\n<\/a>\"Weekly-Favorite\"<\/a>\u00a0\"best-of-2016-scs-smaller\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>A big HOWDY to you & welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs<\/strong><\/span> May Mid Month Release! I tell you, this release is exactly what a Texas girl loves! And since that describes me to a T, I LOVE these! Not to mention how much you can do w\/ a fabulous silhouette image.<\/span><\/p>\n

To start my first card, I knew I wanted a brightly sponged background, so I dug out a few Kaleidacolor ink pads. They have the most vibrant colors and that’s what I wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Howdy
\n<\/a>\u00a0I used a a torn mask for the ground & sponged on the greens, reversed the mask & sponged on some yellow for the sky. Then I added a big circle mask & sponged on more yellow, some orange & a little red. I used the edge of the sponge to add the streaks coming from the sun, then highlighted them a bit w\/ a white Prismacolor pencil. I put the bg into my Misti then stamped the silhouette cowboy<\/strong><\/span>, lg cactus & the eagle from the Bookmark Trees<\/strong><\/span> set. The small cactus & little cloud are punches. I die cut the scene w\/ a Double Stitched Rectangle<\/strong><\/span>, doing a little out of the box for the eagle. The black background was done w\/ a small border punch. I made a corner template out of copy paper & used it to help punch all around the edges and have it be as symmetrical as\u00a0possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside.<\/span>

My second cowboy card started w\/ pieces of a leftover watercolor bg. I liked the bright sunset colors w\/ flecks of metallic gold & thought it might be fun to use them in a split background configuration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cowboy
\n<\/a>\"Weekly-Favorite\"<\/a>\u00a0\"Color-Challenge-Favorite\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Having them separated like this was very challenging to say the least. I placed them on top of the die cut turquoise bg w\/ temporary adhesive & stamped the silhouette<\/strong><\/span> on top. Leaving the turquoise mat in place, I removed the orange w\/c layer & stamped the silhouette again.<\/span>
\n\"Cowboy
\n<\/a>I\u00a0liked the look the textured turq c\/s gave to the ground area, but not so much on the cowboy. So I stamped him again on a separate piece & fussy cut him. Yikes! That was some fancy cutting, let me tell you! Then I had to go over all the cut edges w\/ a black marker to keep them from showing. I added the greeting & big star frame to finish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
