Western Cowboy Card
It's ok I guess, so I'll post it. I decided I should put up both the good and the bad. Couldn't find my glasses when I started making this, but just kept at it and was not able to see any of the mistakes I made, lol. Stamps are from an unmounted sheet of 10 western stamps that I used to carry, but took off the website as they weren't such a good seller. I chose 5 from the set, colored them with pencils and attached to a piece of craft paper that I put though my corragating tool. The corragating does not show up on the scan.

Very nice! and the coloring is great!
ReplyDeleteI have been staring at this card for a few minutes, trying to figure it out. It has all the required elements that I usually expect for a good card. Your coloring is good, and I like the palette of colors used. Your embellishments are great, so I can't explain why I don't like this card as much as most of your others. I can only think that maybe it is too symetrical.
ReplyDeleteI think its cute! don't be so hard on yourself, none of us are perfect!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you posted it. you are harder on yourself than necessary. this is a fun, festive card with great coloring. if i waited for perfection to post to my blog i wouldn't have posted ever that's for sure! you're a wonderful artist, keep at your art. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is Very good. I Like this card.
ReplyDeleteNice colors and all.
I'm always hard on myself too, making art.
We're our own worse critics, huh.

It is wonderful! We are truly are own worse enemies at times! Sometime I love something I create and other times not. There is no blog that I visit that I don't leave with an idea! It is about the sharing as much as the art!
ReplyDeleteHee Haw, this is a fantastic card, Shelley!
ReplyDeleteShelly, I posted a real flop to my blog way back in January you can see it here:

Your card is really a good layout, from what I can see it is the brown it is all mounted on. I always have trouble with this same shade of brown for a card. But check out my flop before you listen to me LOL. I am GLAD you shared!!!
I really like it :) a black or dark brown maybe embossed bg would look good too :)great coloring :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it! So stop giving yourself a hard time! lol I think the embellies look great on it and add that extra something special.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words on my blog while I was recovering from my surgery. It really is amazing how little things like that can make you feel so much better. You are a sweetheart. hugs, Stacy h-w
