Old Boots - Get Well Or Birthday Card

I got this image from Stamp Club one time and stamped a whole page of the boots. Linda and I came up with the brilliant idea one time to stamp a whole page and then we could scan, copy and print the images if we wanted to use them again. On this particular image I colored one of the images and then scanned the colored image and then printed multiples! Yes...it is okay to say right at this moment "OMG OKIE!! YOU ARE A FREAKIN GENUIS!" *okie smiles as she basks in the glow of being called a genius and thinks she will never tire of hearing that phrase*

Supplies Used:
Printed Stamped and Colored Image
Cricut Old West Cart
Cricut Marker
Various Cardstock
Creative Imaginations Printed paper
Cat Eye Inks
Brads








 
I had a hard time finding a sentiment I want and I did find one from a Leaning Tree card. I thought it just seemed to fit this card perfectly. I had to find some western themed fonts since I didn't seem to have any. Do you guys know how many western fonts are out there?? HUNDREDS!! How are we suppose to pick out of HUNDREDS? I think this sentiment would work for either a great birthday card or a get well card. I love having cards that can have more than one purpose.

 
I took a close up picture of the boots so you could see how nicely the colored imaged scanned and printed. You can't really tell the difference. If you are wanting to make quite a few of the same thing and don't want to color all the images then this would be the way to go. I did use my ProMarkers to color the original. If you would like the sheet of the images you can contact me and I will email them to you. Since I don't know the in's and out's of the copyright details I don't want to make it available to all the public.

  1. This is really a great idea - especially for something like invitations - you could do a production line assembly!

    What talent!!!!!
