cowboy boots
when I was in Austin 2 weeks ago, there were four or five paintings on the hotel’s conference level of cowboy boots. I was instantly inspired to revisit the cowboy boot image in my own projects, and what better way to start than with a home made birthday card for my niece’s husband?
I covered an old greeting card we had received a number of months ago with broad stripes of assorted envelope lining (from junk mail, naturally). I happen to like that mixture of patterns and the subtle coloring.
Then I cut a boot shape from a piece of junk mail card stock, wove together some very thin strips of paper from one of the catalogs we picked up from the mailbox last night, and voila.
Added a short piece of twine I had stashed in my desk drawer, made a little envelope, and we’re rodeo ready!
Thank you for visiting, I truly enjoy your company!

This is awesome Diane. So unique and creative.
Yehaw! I believe you captured the spirit of Texas in your design 🙂 I love Texas, but I’m not loving the heat or lack of rain right now. Dreaming of cooler temps.
Cindi took the words right out of my mouth….

That is sooooo cute. I have to try that very soon. I really never thought of using all that “trash” stuff. What a clever girl you are!!
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I’m just getting started as a blogger and am having a blast! Your boot card is ingenious! I have lots of friends in Cowboy Country who would love to receive a card like that! Ann @ Once Upon a Firefly
