Theme Thursday - Western

Another great theme for Theme Thursday! I love these challenges because they give me a reason to pull out stamps and other materials that I haven't used in awhile. I started out thinking I'd do a chunky ATC - I still haven't tried one of these and I thought this would be the perfect excuse. While I was pulling things together I came across this little house and totally changed my mind! The house is partially covered in a page from a vintage children's book and painted with acrylics. Stamps are all from the Oxford Impressions Cowgirl Blues plate.

    Brilliant idea in every way. Love how you've used the house shape and the page from the vintage children's book. Also find the glow of the background so warm and rich looking.

    I love every inch of this house...from the rusty star to the sentiment to the precious little cowgirl.
