This is an early Sunday morning post to share a card made yesterday.
There were 2 inspirations for the card.
- Blog candy from Marsha at Gramma's Room arrived this week. The package included a bow easy and a Unity stamp. Initially, I was more excited that I had won the bow easy because I am so bow-making challenged. However, I loved the stamp so much that I used it first. :)
If you haven't seen Marsha's cards, you really need to take a look. Her OWH Top Ten of 2012 cards are fabulous! The little cowboy shown below was my favorite, but it was a tough call. Thanks again, Marsha! - For the design, I tweaked a scrapbook page layout by Ashley at Designs by Ashley Rock. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees clockwise and then included several of the layout elements, such as the 3 circles and 3 strips, on my card.(Ashley makes fabulous sketches for scrapbook page layouts. If you're into scrapbooking, they're definitely worth checking out.)

I'm really pleased with the way the postcard turned out. The AC cardstock was a very light cream/ivory.
Parting Thoughts
I had to laugh when I read Carol's comment wishing that her hubby took as much interest in her cards as my hubby does in mine. Believe me, I get lots of eye rolls and "that's okay" responses. :)
Hubby's response for today's card was that I am always showing him sketches and cards -- and that the cards never seem to have any resemblance to the sketches. (Did I ever mention that hubby is more of a black and white kind of guy?) But, in spite of his wry comments and dry wit, he often offers good suggestions as to the type of card a "man" would like to send or receive.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend. Thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin'!
