Wild Wild West Man rides again

This week Kathy challenged the CCEE  Stampers to make a tag or a card with a tag.  A friend of mine recently got the SU Wild Wild West stamp set for me.   It was retired several years ago and has become a very popular item.  It is very hard to get and on ebay they are selling for big bucks.  I am happy to say that this Man lives with me now.  ~smile~   I am combining the CCEE challenge with the Twisted Sisters challenge this week.  The twisted sisters challenge is to make a card with wildlife on it and add paint for extra credit.   Okay, now your wondering  how this card relates to wild life, aren't you?   Well, this man is wanted by all women and ya never know whose house he might be found at, therefore, he is liking his Wild Life.   That is the fun part of the challenges is to see how everyone has a different way of thinking.  For the extra credit part of it, I painted a tag, sent to me by Blooms in a Box.   I used gold paint and sponged brown ink over it to tone it down a little.  I also sponged over the tag with my man on it.  Sue gave me this awesome paper and brads that are so perfect with the stamp set.   The ribbon is burlap ribbon and fringe came from Hobby Lobby.

Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing my card today and please come back again soon.

  4. Wonderful colours and colouring, Shirley. I especially like the way he's riding off the tag - I am so bad at using partial images but love the effect.
