The Cat's Pajamas' monthly challenge for August was long, tall cards. I LOVE making that type of cards, so I jumped on board as soon as I found a few minutes to stamp and made this card. I've had the three cowboys stamp for a long time, but I bought the "Ghost Town" image after seeing another TCP stamper combine those two images together. I always figured coloring those houses would take too long, but I like how you can simply stamp it in a neutral color behind the cowboys to create a nice, simple background. I think it looks neat!
The top of bottom of the card was decorated with strips of patterned paper glued at an angle to create boards, which were held in place with crew brads. A small lasso was created out of twine.
I was trying to figure out which sentiment to add to the card, and finally landed on "Good luck." It's a little tongue-in-cheek combined with the images, and I like it!
