Sew Many Challenges Father's Day Card No Blues Challenge!!!

I had a ball making this card....lots of distressing and inking....very therapeutic!!  This project is for this weeks Sew Many Cards challenge of making a Father's Day project with NO Blue.  I absolutely love working with this cute little donkey!  Isn't that just the sweetest face?  You can purchase this cutie here.  I took some of my Giddy Up papers from CTMH and some plain old Walmart black cardstock and went to town inking and tearing.  I envisioned an old wanted poster with the "charred" edges.  I picked up these old rusty stars in a cute little shop in Rapid City, SD and have been "saving" them....do you ever feel like you are as much a collector as a crafter?  Anywho I played with some twine and some glue dots trying to get a lasso thing going and didn't quite achieve the look I wanted but you get the idea.  I think my Dad will like it!  Hope you do, too.  Here are the copics I used:

We are very excited to announce our generous sponsor for this week and it is Tracey Malnofski from The Stamping Boutique.  When you go over to visit her store be sure to check out cute little Audrey.  If you've been visiting my blog very long then you probably have read that I LOVE horses and there are some really cute images of Audrey and I absolutely adore the equestrian ones.  I hope to find some time to play with some of those soon.  Be sure to check back with me as I did get the pleasure of working with one of her super cute images (not Audrey but just as cute) and I'll be posting it next week.  Now, you know you probably need to make a Father's Day card anyhow so why not get it done now and join in our fun and get a chance at not only winning some wonderful SMC images but also Tracey has donated 5 images from her store also!!!   Whoo hoo!!!  What's not to love about that!  Hope to see your masterpieces soon!
