Today's featured set is Southwest Cowboy. Now before I sat down to use it I wasn't sure about it, I don't have great luck with guy cards. But I absolutely think this is going to be one of my favorites. The images are really versatile and make it easy to create a card.
For the first one I decided to go with a long version of a card to fit into a business sized envelope. The accent stamps, like the little line of cactus, make a great border.
I loved the colors on the rocks we've seen when I've traveled west with the kids; I have a poster from Zion National Park hanging in my family room and the colors are soooo bright! I thought polished stone could help highlight some of that dramatic beauty you find only in the west. The chiffon flower this time has no stickles on its edges, just seemed to fit the card a bit better.
Here is the blog hop order. Have fun and happy hopping!
