Our fabulous sponsors for this challenge are:

I'm a redneck and used to wear my cowboy boots and my hat was on "straight" and Imagine That Lil Cowpokes Cowgirl was a purrfect match for me except of course, all I could do was sing "Rhinestone Cowboy" as I was glittering her up and adding bandanna fabric for my bow and of course a button from my stash for the center of my bow.








RECIPE and SUPPLIES:
  • card is a size A2 card using barn red Recollection card stock with DCWV The Kidlet Stack
  • cowgirl was colored with Prisma Colored Pencils, Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut around the edges puff-dotted onto card, gel pen accents with Stickles on her bandanna, blouse and rhinestones for her skirt
  • red bandanna fabric and twine was wrapped around the base of the card with additional tied into a bow with a button with shank removed from the center for the center of my bow
  • sentiment, "sometimes, you just need to put on your Big Girl boots, and get back in the saddle", had been a previous freebie from Create with TLC  


and now, it's time to sing-a-long . . . . ready to follow the bouncing rhinestone:
