Howdy

…it’s Clare popping in today, with a fun card that has a wide range of uses!

I started my card off by coloring the cute little cow-raccoon (instead of cowboy? somehow it just doesn’t work…) from Mama Elephant’s Rowdy Raccoons, and coloring him in with some ZIG’s. I used Light Gray for his main body, Gray and Light Gray for the mask and tail, Mid Brown and Gray for the rope and boots, Brown and Beige for the hat and horse head, Light Pink for the ears and nose, and finally, Deep Blue and Persian Blue for the handkerchief.

I then die cut a tag using the Hero Arts Tag Infinity Dies, and blended a background using only Stormy Sky. For the stars, I die cut a piece of scratch paper using My Favorite Things Vertical Stars in the Sky, then used it as a stencil. I stamped my sentiment in Hero Arts Cup O’ Joe, adhered my raccoon, and my tag was good to go.

Now, you could leave it at that, and pair up the tag with a present or gift, but I decided to go the card route….

I die cut a background using Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Borders die, and adhered my tag on that.

Have a blessed day!
