Yeehaw!!!

Howdy Folks!!! teehee. I am not really a country kind of girl but I love the new set from CTMH named....Yeehaw. I made the back ground paper from glossy card stock (by SU then stamped in CTMH black with the Adorable stamp set CTMH. I then used a white crayon (any light color will do) and made marks here and there around the paisley and circles. The next step was to brayer over the entire piece in Cranberry CTMH. the marks I made with the crayon "resisted" the brayered color. Too cool. I know this resist technique is not new to a lot of you but is it is still one
that I like to pull out of the vault once in a while. The bandanna look made me think of this set.
I stamped the cowgirl and yeehaw in CTMH black onto Colonial White cs CTMH. I matted the Yeehaw onto cranberry cs CTMH cut around it then matted again in black and cut around it. I pop dotted it for a 3-D effect (have i mentioned how i {heart} 3-D before?) smile. I cut out the fence and used the SU corner punch and pop dotted one of those layers and put some fun silver brads on it for a hardware look. Then I ran some twill ribbon CTMH around the card and in the knot I put a triangle shaped paper clip CTMH to make it kind-of resemble a dinner bell????
This was a fun card to make. I hope you like it too!!
