October Bombshell Sketch Challenge!

Hello!!  Every month our Fabulous Design Team Captain Kathi give us an awesome new sketch to work with!!

Here is this month's sketch:

I recently received the Retro Cowgirls set.  And I LOVE her!!  She is yee-haw sassy and super sexy!!  I wanted to go with 'Autumn-ish" colors but still staying true to the cowgirl in her!!  I colored her with my Copic and Prismacolor markers and very carefully trimmed her out. 

I used my Cricut to capture 2 ovals.  5/1/2" and 5 1/4" respectively.  I stitched them together using a bit of a simpler, yet similar cross-stitch style border on my sewing machine.  I then mounted my cowgirl right in the center.

I used Basic Grey DP as the card base measuring at 6 x 5".  My center panel behind where my ovals will sit is a strip of SU! Close To Cocoa and a misc strip (I think Fancy Pants - but don't quote me) of DP added to the cocoa with a fancier embroidery stitch on each side. 

I added some chocolate brown, satin ribbon across the entire card and lastly 3 silver pearls for embellishments on the top left.

I used the sentiment Absolutely Fabulous from PTI, inked in Tim Holtz Broken China ink and I used the same ink to lightly edge distress the sentiment panel.

I added my main layer with 3-D adhesive as well as the sentiment panel with 3-D dots behind it.

I love how this turned out!!

I hope you enjoy and have been inspired!!
