Flashback Friday: Cowboy Christmas

Welcome to Flashback Friday!  This week we are flashing back to 2000 for the super cute Christmas set called Cowboy Christmas.

I have to admit that I bought this set because I loved it, but this is the first time I have used it!

I didn't want the card to be too busy, the cowboy should stand out.  But I wanted to use as many of the fun stamps as possible, so here's what I did.

1.  Used Real Red for my card base to have a Christmas color for the card.

2.  Added a layer of Crumb Cake.  Stamped the cows and the cactus with Crumb Cake for a tone on tone look.

3.  Stamped the cowboy onto Glossy card stock with StazOn Black.  Colored him in with a blender pen and stamp pads.  Die cut the image using the Deco Label Framelits.

4.  Die cut a Gumball Green layer using one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  I put it under the left side of the Deco Framelit to add a splash of green.  Trimmed of the right side of the white Deco label to line up with the edge of the Crumb Cake layer.

5.  Punched small stars out of So Saffron (retired punch) and added them around the card with a bit of Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive.  Added a Daffodil Delight Candy Dot to the center of each star.

6.  The final touch was the extra part of the greeting.  I added "sending you" from Endless Wishes stamped with Chocolate Chip.  I like the way it's broken up to say "sending you Joy".

That's it!  A super cute Cowboy Christmas card!!!  I always embellish the inside of my cards but don't usually show you.  I just had to post this one.

I added the cows again to go with the greeting "Have an udderly wonderful Christmas!"  How cute is that!

Thanks so much for stopping by for my flashback!  Have a great stamping day!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
