This week at
Simon Says Stamp and Show we are looking to the stars. Interpret stars any way you want. I was inspired by a star of the Old West.
This image from Artistic Outpost - Cowgirl Strength reminds me of Annie Oakley. I did a little research of her online and it was interesting. The focal point is the star which started from pattern paper which I added a layer of stamped paisley background. On the inside of the card the background is stamped with cowhide using brown archival ink .
I punched coordinating stars to frame the circle and added a row of stamped stitching around the edges.
Here is a view of the card on an angle so you can see the window that the star is peeking out of:

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Suzz, I love the aperture to showcase the fabulous cowgirl. Love the papers and your stamping and colouring is stunning. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteSuzz...This is so cool! I love the colors...those golden tones with the brown "stitching" really look amazing together. Your focal point of "Annie Oakley" really looks fabulous. I really love all of the popped stars around the circle. They are THE perfect embellishment! Your "Annie", in the layered star is such a neat stamp and I love how you've stamped and colorized her. As per your usual, a beautifully done piece. <3 Candy
