Western Style

Here are 2 cards I did a few weeks ago. I'm not completely pleased with how they turned out--not sure what they need. I think they're fine for a simple, quick card, though. They are square, 4", on black and brown cardstock. I used a strip of designer paper on the edges, cut about 3 3/4 x 2. I used my circle punches for each circle. On the red "hello" card, the sentiment came from Sweet Shapes and the flower from Baroque Motif. This flower reminds me of the one in the Wanted set, which I don't have.--I go back and forth between wanting the Wanted, Bronc Buster, and Starstruck. I don't think I should get all 3, but I want one, because my family is into the Western theme, and would make perfect cards for my dad and also for the scrapbook pages I do of the horses. Anyway, back to the above cards: I stamped images in Versamark ink from the Polka Dots & Petals set. Ribbon comes from craft stores. There are also eyelets set in each card. I do like the layout of these cards; it's one I've used before and just looks so different depending on what colors and papers are used.
