New Sheriff in Town / Bye Bye mon Cowboy

 

 

I had to think about these colours for a while this week. Not that I don't like them - I love Earth Elements! I was just so engrossed in Christmas projects, I had step out of that zone for a minute. I thought about doing snowflakes or a vintage Christmas scene in those colours until I had a flash of something else and decided to roll with it.

I decided I would pull out Cowboy Kid and created a saloon scene. There was a quite a bit of fiddling involved because I knew I wanted the swinging doors and didn't really have a plan further than that, but I am happy to say that it finally worked out to my liking - and to yours as well, I hope!

Details to point out:

• The doors were created with the Curly Label shape. To make the "inside" of the doors, I inked stripes of cardstock and glued them making sure they overlapped before punching the shape out.
• Everything was inked with daubers or sponges.
• The cactus and horseshoes were embossed with copper powder. (I miss our copper embellishments!)
• The sign over the door was created with a shape from the retired Canvas Cuts kit. I added two punched stars and some linen thread on top of it, before adding a sentiment from the On Your Birthday set punched with the Word Window punch on top.
• The sides of the saloon entrance were made with stripes of Chocolate Chip cardstock stamped with the Woodgrain background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Même si j'aime beaucoup les couleurs de l'ensemble Terre et ciel, ce combo m'a un peu laissé de court cette semaine, principalement parce que j'étais sur ma lancée de projets de Noël et que les couleurs ne cadraient pas dans le thème. J'ai pensé créer une scène d'hiver d'époque ou étamper des flocons orangés, mais quand j'ai eu un flash, j'ai écarté ces idées.

J'ai ressorti Cowboy Kid et décidé de créer une scène de saloon. Il a fallu que je taponne pas mal avant que la carte tourne à mon goût, mais je suis finalement contente de mon mini-saloon. L'idée de départ était les portes pivotantes faites avec le poinçon Étiquette bouclée.

Détails :

• Pour créer l'intérieur des portes, j'ai encré des languettes de papier cartonné Presque cacao que j'ai ensuite collées en superposition avant de poinçonner ma forme.
• Toutes les composantes de ma carte ont été encrées avec une éponge ou une éponge-camoufleur.
• Le cactus et les fers à cheval ont été embossés en cuivre. (Je m'ennuie de nos accessoires de couleur cuivre!)
• L'écriteau au haut de la porte a été créé avec une forme de la trousse Canvas Cuts. J'ai ajouté deux étoiles poinçonnées et de la ficelle de chanvre tortillée entre deux attaches parisiennes 5/16 po, puis j'ai fini le tout avec un souhait de l'ensemble Pour ton anniversaire poinçonné avec le poinçon Fenêtre de texte.
• Les côtés de l'entrée du saloon ont été créés avec des fines bandes de papier cartonné Pépite de chocolat étampées avec l'arrière-fond Woodgrain.
