Keepin' It Wild at Gingersnap Creations

We're coming up on the end of the month, and the end of the "Wild West" theme at Gingersnap Creations.  Our last challenge of the month is a color challenge: GC104: Denim, Rust, and Dust.  I wanted to have a little fun with this one, and I had this awesome canvas tag from my Talbots jeans which I just had to use.... :)  Lots going on here, so here are the deets....

Firstly, I tore apart and painted some corrugated cardboard in a dust-like color, and shabbied it further with some denim and rust inks.  Next layer.... a piece of dust-colored cardstock on which I did a very fun and easy technique called "Dragged Madras" from the April/May 2009 edition of the Technique Junkie Newsletter (they happen to be sponsoring Gingersnap Creations this month.... check it out on the blog, you'll be glad you did!).  Then.... a very cute cowgirl in need of some jeans - this clipart image is from an Etsy shop called Cloud 9 Kreations.  (They have tons of cowgirl-themed and wild west collage sheets.)  The canvas tag, as I said, is from Talbots (notice that I cut off the size, LOL!), spritzed with Glimmer Mist in a denim-y color (Moonlight?).  I used some alpha stamps to create the two "signs", along with some woodgrain stamping and some distressing.  Most everything is stapled into place (we're rustic here, peeps!).  Some giant eyelets and some twine finish it off.

I hope you'll join us in this lovely color challenge... and don't worry, you don't have to stick to the wild west theme.... anything goes!
