TUESDAY THROWDOWN CHALLENGE

Hope your week is going well. Mine has started off a bit rough. The water on my washer didnt shut off and ran for over a hour. Two room flooded one being my craft area. I store some things in cardboard storage boxes so some stuff ruined and a huge mess to clean up!! Well enough of that... Today the sponsor for our Use Die Cuts Challenge is Bugaboo Stamps. They have a ton of wonderful images to choose from. I chose this cute cowboy because it brought back a flood of memories. My husband team roped and my oldest daughter rodeoed from a young age. She can ride like the wind and although the image is a boy it still reminded me of all the rodeos, gymkhanas, ropings, drill team practices and parades we attended as she was growing up so just had to use it!!

I used two dps for the base stitched on. Then I water colored the image, cut out a second hat and pieced for a little added dimension. The image was cut out with a Spellbinder Scalloped rectangle and attached with star brads. The stars were cut with Spellbinder stars out of cardboard and some gesso slopped on them. They were foam dotted on top of one another. I had the perfect star button that I attached with some twine.Used a punch for the little tag. Cowboys always need a rope so there is one hanging there ready to throw :)

Awww...this is so cute Davi! Love your coloring. Wow, I am so sorry to hear about the washer running on and causing such damage in the house. :( How terrible to lose your supplies as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can share and help you rebuild your stash. Big hugs...Kimberly

Davi,

How horrible to have a flood inside the house! I hope not too much was ruined. Tell me about it.

This is such a cute cowboy card with so much detail. Your mojo sure didn't get shrunk by the flood! I really like the cardboard stars...very altered art looking. Lots going on here but perfectly done for a busy little boy!

Love and blessings, Martha

Oh wow... how awful. So sorry to hear about your flood. Years ago, we had one of our businesses in a lower level of a mall and someone left water running above us the entire weekend. It wiped out everything. Will be praying for you as I remember the hurt.
Love your darling little cowboy... that's just the cutest card.

Davi, (not Davis)ha...your card is just so adorable and it must have been so much fun to make as the memories flooded your mind. How awesome!
Now, to your flood...I am so sorry. What a mess that must be, and in your craft area..that is really too much. Hope you get all that taken care of very soon if there was permanent damage.
