I stamped her ink black Memento ink, colored with Copic markers & cut her out. I asymmetrically cut a piece of printed paper for her beach towel & outlined it with a black marker. Cuttlebugged the sand & water for texture. OMG...let's go to the beach!!! xoRick.

This is the outside of the cowgirl card. I used Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder for the doors. Thanks for looking, Rick xo.

HOWDY YALL!

Yeehaw! I had bought some cowboy stickers that had saloon doors on it that inspired me to creat this, what I think, quite adorable cowgirl card. By using my Score Pal, i was able to make a gate fold opening, turning it into the saloon doors. />Hope yall like, Rick xo.
