I started off by stamping the square border, the cowboy and the sentiment. I then masked off the central area and stamped the patterned borders to resemble a cowboy blanket. I added a couple of accents in the corners of the square. The colours are perfect for the cowboy theme. Both this card and the collage one will be in the post tomorrow.

When Kathryn got home from school yesterday, the first thing she saw in the kitchen was my lovely new teal handbag. Well, it is hard to miss!! She picked it up and said "Mine, mine, mine!!!" and when I said "No, mine!" - she wasn't a happy girl - and when she saw my nails - well, let's just say that the green-eyed monster arrived!!! Kath absolutely loves teal and she has beautiful nails (I didn't when I was her age) and she desperately wants to have them painted teal!!! Perhaps this weekend I'll do her nails!!
Before I go I must say Hi and Welcome to a new follower - Loli Juan - really pleased to have you join me. That's all for now. Off to do some tidying!! Yes, I know - I must be feeling unwell :))))) See you soon.

I love your "blanket" - a perfect frame for the image!
Deborah, Great card - love the neutral colors and especially that background that you stamped perfectly! Your nephew is sure to like this one! GO you! A new handbag and pretty nails!
I just love your blanket effect & the subtle colours with the striking image. I like teal too - teal, orange & purple are just something else!!

Great masculine card!!! I'm hoping to play in OLW this week!!!
Love the frame with the sentiment!

This is a great design and I only realised it was a one layer card after reading your description! One of the great pleasures of having a daughter is getting to do their nails and hair for them! Have fun with Kathryn!
Deb, teal nails must look really fun! I think my 13 YO would love it, too. She's really into having different colors on her nails.
I like how you used our challenge colors this week. It's a great Western theme!
So glad you could play with us at The Play Date Cafe this week. :)
Deborah, this is a fabulous guy card! I have so much trouble with them...maybe it's because I have more flower stamps than anything else? I need to get a horse stamp or something...this is definitely a fabulous guy card!
That looks like the set on my wish list Debs, love how you've used it and those nails sound great! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at The Play Date Cafe!
What a great, guy card, Deb! LOVE that stampy background! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
OMGOSH, Deb! That blanket background is totally perfect for the card!!! LOVE how you filled the space but kept the focal point nice and strong...that takes talent to pull of in such a balanced way!!!!
