Giddy Up Cowboy - Manly Cards at Pile it On

Coffee of the Day - Texas Turtle (caramel, pecan, and chocolate)

Welcome to another fun challenge with Pile it On! this week we are making cards for men, something that we all need in our card stash! :)


For my card I used an image and senti from Dude Time Doodles. papers are Flair Designs Giddy Up. the cowboy was printed onto sticky canvas and then cut into a tag shape. I frayed the bottom edge for fringe. the stars were punched from a Starbucks coffee holder and then inked in vanilla craft. can you believe it, I actually used my Copic markers on this...... whew..... was I ever scared! it's only my 2nd time to use them, but I had received a few new ones and have decided that getting over my Copic fear is one of my crafty resolutions for 2012. I also added an old belt loop from a pair of shorts that were being tossed. I re-purpose EVERYTHING! :)
