Patriotic TX Boot Star GoldMisted Card

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.
