Country Girl

Hello again to all my friends.  Yep, I've got yet another card to share with you.  It went together pretty well after I got the image colored and I really like how she turned out.  I was going for a leather look to her jacket and boots.  Wanted her to be a real Country Girl.

The image I used is one from Anne Fenton over at The Outlawz.  It's been awhile since I've been able to play in the Sunday Creative Freebie Challenge so this is one of the older images that I've been hoarding.

Before I get into the rest of the card, I wanted to mention that the layout is from this week's sketch at My Favorite Things - Wednesday Stamp Clug No. 84.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up - A Little Birthday Cheer which I stamped with SU Buckaroo Blue on SU Whisper White and then nipped the ends to make the banner.  I used SU Buckaroo Blue for the card base and the image and sentiment mats.  The image is printed on Xpress It Blending Card.  I dug into my SU dsp and pulled out the Western Sky collection and used the paper from that for the background and the striped piece across the bottom.  The strip of ribbon I believe is also from SU (Retired).  The fabric brads are from my stash.  I colored the image with my Copic markers:  Skin: E50, E51, E53, R81; Hair: Y11, Y15, Y19; Jacket and Boots:  E93, E97, E99, Y17, Y38; Blouse: R17; Jeans: B91, B93, B95; Fence: E43, E44, E57; Grass: YG05, YG09; Outline: B0000.
