YIHA!

I've had this Core'dinations paper for a while, but I didn't feel I had any stamps or images to use with it. I won a challenge at "Cards for Men" and the gift was digis from Digital Delights by Louby Loo, and one of my picks was this cowboy silhoutte. This is the first time I use a digi, and to use it I had to invest in a printer first (yippee - a printer is so great to have when papercrafting!).
I used a ticket stamp with greeting for the sentiment, and I have used dies to cut out the stars - using scrap papers only. The Core'dinations paper has been sanded to bring out the star pattern, and I have also sanded along the edges to give a distressed look. The kraft paper stars have been distressed with brown ink.

I think the theme is perfect for a boy - what little boy has never played cowboys and the Wild West, even dreamt of being a cowboy himself....
This was a really fun card to make!
