Bonnie (that's me)
When I first saw the new Cowgirls Rule stamp set by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company, I literally squealed with delight.  In all of my years of stamping (14+), I have not seen a more adorable cowgirl set.  I am in love with this little girl and her horse.  She is so easy to color even with a migraine. *wink*

I started out by stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto Mark's Finest Papers Vanilla Bean premium paper before coloring with prismacolor markers and stippling Tim Holtz Tattered Rose distress ink around the layered image and Adirondack caramel ink lightly over it.

My final embellishments were some thread along the card and thread curled into a rope, mini pewter brads for "nails", and popping up my cowgirl's Stetson hat over the saddle.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to stop by all of the Design Team blogs and leave some love for a chance to win today's set.  Have a great day.

    Great job, Bonnie. I like how you placed the hat on the horse and your 'rope' is the perfect embellie.

    Bonnie I love your card - it reminds me of a bulletin board in a girl's bedroom with posters pinned to it - love the rope and sign hanging off of the "board". I sure hope you feel better soon my friend!!
