 My first card for today is a feminine one made with what is quite a masculine set.  My niece and her Mum both ride so one of them will probably get this card.
 
My second card uses the cowboy silhouette with some sponging.  We don't actually have many cowboys in the UK and actually it is used as a derogatory expression for rogue traders who don't do a good job so I will have to be careful who I send this one too!

Please become a follower of my blog before you hop along to Mark's Finest Papers

Thank you

  10. Great cards. Love your use of purple on the first card. I got a kick out of your comment about being careful on who to give the cowboy card to because of the meaning. I have heard that here in the east also...how times have changed since Gene, Roy and Maverick..even here!

  11. Wow, way to build a gorgeous feminine card out of a super masculine set. The shading on your second card is amazing!

  12. Your first card is beautiful - I love the colors and florals. Your second card is awesome - it's sad that "cowboy" has a derogatory meaning in your area. Cowboys were usually heroes in the movies - i.e., John Wayne!!
