Today’s JUGS 46 challenge is to make a project using the Wild Wild West as our theme!! The purpose of this is to raise money for Ethan’s Rodeo; you can read all about it here. The digi image and sentiment I am using for my card today are from last year’s fund-raiser, and I am thrilled to be able to use “Lily” and her little pony again!
My Copic-using skills are not quite what some of my stamping cohorts’ are, but I gave it my best shot with the limited supplies I had. The card base is Pear Pizzazz; I used a mix of papers from Material Girl by CC and On the Boardwalk by Graphics 45; the ribbons also qualify this for Sharon Johnson’s Stamp Simply challenge 152, to use ribbon scraps! These little pieces were in my ribbon bag…I only wish I could learn to sew straight. (Actually, I think there is something off in my machine!! LOL!) Anyway, this card is perfect for an encouragement card I need for a friend who recently took on a major ministry position in our church, and has been really discouraged. She has horses, so although I am not sure she’s into rodeo, I think she’ll like this nonetheless!
I hope you’ll participate too and help out this great cause!
