Hi, over at Gingersnaps we are having a Wild West Theme this month and this week its Cowboys and Cowgirls. Now you may not believe this but we don't really have a lot of Cowfolks in Wellingborough, so when this theme came up I was really stumped.............. I love the show Oklahoma and all its fab music, love Calamity Jane, but never seen an honest to goodness cowperson in real life. So looked up some of those famous ladies of the West like Belle Starr, oh boy were they ugly not a Doris Day amongst them.....lol
Anyways enough of my ramblings and lets get on with the show......... My Double Tag has been stamped with Oxford Impressions and a B Line stamp, inked with Distress Inks through Plumbing Mesh and rough garden string added............
This card is made up of a Tim Holtz Diecut and Embossing folders. The backing folder has been alcohol inked with various colours then smeared with Green Stazon Ink. The centrepiece is a stamp from Oxford Impressions which has been coloured and crackle glazed, script stamped (B Line) inked and embossed.
You have heard of 'Sitting Bull' well she is 'Sitting Pretty'..............the jokes don't get any better do they.......lol
Would love to see your takes on this challenge. There are some great pieces over at Gingersnaps and all so very different. So get on your horse and mosey on down.................oops sorry about that but once I start just can't stop..................
Have a great weekend, am off to find something to wear for a Country Fair Wedding this month. Will catch up with you all later and take care, Hugs Annette x

Fabulous Netty, love the double tag, great colours and authentic ladies. Your card is brilliant, love all the different textures:0)You do make me giggle, thanks for that, have fun dress shopping:0) xxx
The double tag is fabulous Annette! I was "Katie Brown" in our local drama group's rendition of Calamity Jane and your tag (colours, techniques and images) just somes up my memories of the show. Jennie x
PS the card is super too!
Glad this popped up Nettie as I saw it on GC the other day and it's gorgeous.
Not many cowgirls or boys down here in Worthing either so I might struggle with this challenge.
Hoping to do some soon as I've missed loads lately.
Have a great rest of weekend.
Hugs,
Fliss xx
There are no cowgirls up here Nettie, only birdwatchers, the feathered kind!
Love your tag and card. you always come up with something amazing.
Enjoy your shopping.xx
Fabulous work as usual. this one would have foxed me, there are definately no cowgirls in Wales that I've seen.
Love all your takes on it.
Full of feeling and tenderness. With color and texture of high quality
I am still racking my brains - or what's left of them - to think what to do for this challenge! Love your cards, great western colours, too. Hugs, Valerie
