Revised my Patriotic Texas Boot Card by gold misting the Star.
Used Stampin' Up (SU): Boot stamp from "Bootiful Occasions", Midnight Muse ink & scrapbook paper.
Base
of card is red americana Kraft cardstock. Stamped the
Texas Boot onto white cardstock. Used Stampin' Up dark blue/white
striped scrapbook paper for tag. Layer below the stamped image cardstock
is americana Kraft cardstock blue.
Star is made with new Spellbinders Presto Punch Stars I bought at JoAnns on 7/1. Sprayed the stars with Perfect Pearls Mists heirloom gold.
Photographed with my Justin boots that I use for horseback riding.
Photos from a 2005 vacation when we went
to a Dude Ranch, Aspen Canyon Ranch, in CO
for 1 week. Each day we rode the same horse.
1st photo is taken with my camera by one of the
Ranch people of all 3 of us on a trail ride.
This photo is of me taken by a professional
photographer of me as I'm crossing a stream.
When we started out it looked like rain so we
put on our rain gear & mounted up. It rained
for a short while but when we were crossing
the stream it was not raining. One important
thing to remember when crossing a stream
on horseback is to keep the horse's head
up & not let the horse drink or you may not
get the horse to go across.
