Rhinestone Cowboy . . .

 Please scroll down for my post about the Mint Motif stamp WINNERS!

Hee hee!!  I couldn't help it, as I was finishing up this card today that song came to mind so I just went with it! :)  Happy Monday - November already??? REALLY?????  It's just unbelievable to me.  But since it is November it is time for a new Kitchen Sink Stamps Crew Challenge and it's my turn to pick the challenge.  So I picked one thing I have a hard time with - making a monochromatic card

Check out the Kitchen Sink Stamps blog for the "rules" and details on how to play along - there are PRIZES involved so why not give it a try?!

For my card I used Multi-Step Cowboy Hat from Kitchen Sink Stamps and Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I even sponged around the edge of my main panel (which also generally scares me - lol!)  The ink recipe for my hat is listed below.  I just love how you can curve the clear stamps to fit them where you want them!   This card makes me giggle though.  When I was in college in the south I make a conscious efford not to pick up the "y'all" thing.  We yankees are known for "you guys". ha!  I'll have to send this to a southern friend of mine.

Take some time to visit the rest of the Kitchen Sink Stamps Crew today and then get working on your entry!  Remember my coupon code, JULIE10KSS to get 10% off you KSS order anytime!  Have a great day!
