No, I'm not mad!!! Actually, I'm pretty excited about how this card turned out!!! Hope you like it too!!! The layout is based on Cindy's MFT Sketch Challenge #24. I kindof fudged on the sketch so hopefully I won't get in trouble!!! LOL!!! Today, I used products I have purchased from Michelle at Stampers Dream. 
Michelle has the most beautiful red, Memory Box paper pack called Flirt. The decorative papers I used on this card are from that pack. I used 2 patterns on this card that are included in the pack. The base of my card is Basic Black. I then did a mat of Whisper White but, I did not have the mat come down past the bottom of the card. I cropped the bottom white piece to be even with the decorative flourished striped piece. I cut the scalloped strip separately using my scalloped scissors and instead of having it hang with the scallops down, I faced them up BECAUSE, that is how the cowgirls dress has it!!!! I was excited about that little detail!!!! As usual, I added just a LITTLE bling!!! The clear crystal bling is by Hero Arts and can be found HERE.
OK, do you not LOVE the double flourish at the bottom?!?!? Oh my gosh I LOVE this stamp and am so glad I got it!!! The stamp is by Hero Arts and can be found HERE. I stamped it right on to the Flirt paper using Basic Black. I stamped the sentiment (from Ride 'em Cowgirl) using Basic Black on another pattern of Flirt paper. I punched it out using my small oval punch, sponged around the edges using Whisper White craft ink and then mounted it on the card using dimensionals.
The image is from My Favorite Things and is called Ride 'em Cowgirl and was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black. I colored her using my Prismacolor pencils AND I added Caramel Latte Flock on her rope by using my Quickie Glue Pen. The flocking really made the rope look real. I matted this with Basic Black cardstock. The last step was to use my SU! photo corner punch and punched out from the same pattern of paper that the sentiment is on. I added a crystal to each corner.
My Favorite Things is releasing 2 new stamp sets tomorrow night and later in the week, Michelle will have them in her store! She has also re-ordered a bunch of the older ones too! Check her store HERE later this week if you are interested!
Have a great night!
