BFF Birthday

I asked my best friend if I could borrow her Old West cartridge to scrap a few horseback riding pictures for my Gma. She said that she liked the cartridge, but couldn't get much use out of it and wanted to see what I came up with. As it turned out, her birthday was right around the corner, so I thought I'd use her cartridge to make her a card. This cartridge really is perfect for her as she is a country girl.



I wanted "25" to be the center point of the front of the card (there are certain birthdays where you have to include the age on them, and 25 is one of them.) I made the cowgirl hat to fit my BFF's tastes: (the bright pink was picked out using the Imagine's RGB colors,) and I placed a star jewel on it. "Quarter of a Century" was written using the Opposite's Attract cartridge (welded together with my gypsy.) The cow (a favorite of my bff) was made using Create a Critter, the balloons are from Best Friends and the grass is from Zooballoo (and welded with the gypsy.) The font and the hat are from Old West. Everything that didn't require the gypsy was cut and colored using the Imagine and white paper. I don't own my bff's favorite colors in cardstock (bright pink and bright blue) so the Imagine was perfect for this project.
