Ok, here we go with my cards:

This weekend starts the HOUSTON LIVESTOCK SHOW AND RODEO and it is a BIG DEAL around these parts.  Whether your kids are showing their animals in the livestock show, or if you wanted to see all the animals, or you love the carnival rides or you mostly wanted to see the rodeo competition, you still get to see top recording artists performing.  It IS REALLY A BIG DEAL FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS.

Everyone dresses up in their western attire and people watching is definitely part of attending the show.  Today, I used the BOOTIFUL OCCASIONS stamp set.  Here is what the stamp set looks like:

I decided to do a card to go along with our RODEO THEME:

And here is my first card:

I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder and inked it up before pressing it with my BIG SHOT into my pool party card stock.

 I like to cut my sentiment off of the main image stamp and use them as two different stamps.  That gives me more versatility in stamping.

I put some linen thread behind the circle punched boot.  I also put some dimensional glimmer on the stars on the boot.  Oh, and I used the light Coastal Cabana Blendability to color the bottom of my boot.

For my second card, I saw this idea on Pinterest from SUDSOL and fell in love with the idea:

The dress is made from a cupcake paper that I stamped with the KINDA ECLECTIC stamp set and melon mambo ink.  I used the sweetheart punch to punch out the bodice of the dress and some pompom trim for the belt.

 The boots were stamped, colored with markers and then fussy cut out and attached with stampin dimensionals.  I added tiny pearls for some rodeo BLING on the boots.

I used the sentiment from Bootiful Occasions and punched it out with large oval punch, then layered with scalloped oval punch.

One more look at the full card:

SPRING RAINS - RAIN BOOTS

This BOOTIFUL OCCASIONS stamp set is so irresistible, isn't it?!  The rain roots are a hoot and a half for sure!!

It is the perfect card for springtime showers bringing summer flowers.

Hey, lookie here - I used the NEW crushed curry ink and card stock.  LOVE this deep yellow color.  Now we just need a stamp set of rubber duckies and I am all set!!

I got the design idea from Becky Roberts, a fellow demonstrator.  Thanks, Becky!  Crushed Curry and Pacific Point go very well together, don't they?  I used my aqua painter and the inks to color the boot.  LOVE these boots.  I want a pair like this for in the garden!!

 I used the masking technique to create a pair of boots because the stamp is just one boot.  If you want info0on how to create a mask, contact me and I would be glad to share that info with you.

The sentiment is on the same stamp as the boot, but I created it and punched it out as a separate sentiment.  I really like how it all came out.  Next time I think I would put a layer behind it so both ends of the punch decoration show up.  But this is cute too.

Thanks for visiting my blog.  Won't you leave me a comment about these adorable rain boots?
