I'm excited to be participating in my first card challenge. The challenge, "Fancy Folds", was to create a card that was something other than just a plain rectangle or square using a Karen's Doodles digital stamp. The stamp I chose is called "Rootin' Tootin' Cowboy". If you love digital stamps, go check out her blog, Karen's Doodles. I love every single one of her stamps. I can guarantee you won't be able to leave without purchasing at least one. The card style I chose is called "Joy Fold". A tutorial can be found over at Splitcoast Stampers.
I am pleased with the finished result, however, it is completely different from my original plan. After I finished coloring the lil' cowboy I stepped away from the table only to return and find my finished image in the hands of my 3 year old daughter, Lauren, who was also holding my paper cutter. And yes, she had already used it! Luckily, I was able still able to use the lil' guy, by cutting him out completely. Whew!
