Retro Rubber 265 Hey, Cowboy

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  Middle of the week, it's all downhill from here! I needed a birthday card for a little boy at church, and the Retro Rubber challenge was a tic-tac-toe grid:

I'll let you read their post to see why there are pumpkins on the grid, LOL!  Needless to say, I didn't choose that option, but went with the Kraft Paper/My Choice and Embossing across the middle. I pulled out some real oldies for this one!  Here we go:

This card looks MUCH better in real life than it does here....just sayin', it doesn't photograph very well!  I used the cowboy image from Out West (2010) and did some black heat embossing on Kraft cardstock.  After I heat embossed it, I did some watercoloring (my free choice) and fussy-cut it out, mounting it on a Kraft square that was also embossed with a retired Wrapped in Texture embossing folder.  You can see the embossing better here:

My "hey" and Rootin' Tootin' are from the retired Yee-Haw set (2014) and I confess, I forgot that the other sentiment is still current!  Oops!  The horseshoe and hat are also from Out West, and the stars are from Yee-Haw as well, all stamped in Crumb Cake: 

The patterned paper on the front is from an older Cosmo Cricket pad called Wanted.  It was fun to use these older sets!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
