Howdy!

Well, there’s nothing much western about me but I thought I’d have a little fun creating in a western theme for today’s design. Actually, I’ve been dying to use this gorgeous Prima “Down Home” flower for ages and pairing it up with this Paisley Pattern Scrapblock™ seemed to be a natural fit. I’ve been enjoying creating different looks with this Scrapblock™ and stamping on Kraft with Denim Adirondack Pigment ink gave a great look.  Add in a little texture, some distressing and stitching and you have a really warm, homey look.

Western Hello

Quick Tip: Add a little variation to your designs now and then by trying out a different card  size than you normally use. This card measures 4″ x 8.5″ and the extra size really helps balance off the size of this beautiful flower.

Take care and thanks for stopping by!
