Wahoo Memories

I always have loved the Line fromt he movie IQ, when tim Robbins ask Meg Ryan..."He Said.." Wahoo"" and later asked "When was the last time you said "Wahoo"."

I used to say "Wahoo" as I rode my pretend Pony around my front yard shooting my very acurate finger six or should I say five shooters all over the countryside. What fun memories. I started to create a card on Monday, but it just wouldn't make itself appear on the paper. All I could manage was cutting out the sillohuette using A Childs Year, and heat embossing it with Ranger Clear Embossing powder.

by Tuesday I managed to comeup with a design I really liked and I chose some objects from the Old West Cartridge and cut them out using my Cricut & Gypsy.

I am so loving the Gypsy and how I can layout the design all at one time and use several cartridges. It has enabled me to use alot of my scraps, because I can place the pieces right where I need them on the mat. I actually love looking through the scrapbox for just the right size and color of paper. I can honestly say on my last few cards all the smaller than 1/4 of piece paper have been scraps from the box. I used the Paisley Backgrounder and Basic Gray Ink to stamp the image on Ridinghood Red( I think) cardstock. I used some scrap Paper Co. Blue from the Basics assortment, and Swiss Dots Embossing folder to make the Bottom of the card base. I loved using the Basic Gray scrap to cut the barb wire pieces and Shadow for the "Wahoo"; More Mustard was chosen for the main Sentiment. After putting the Gray and Mustasrd pieces through my "X" Xyron, I rub it really well and then used a sponge to age the edges and add some depth to all the pieces. After aging I used my piercing tool and traced all the edges and openings to get all the excess adhesive off, and then I applied them to the card.

The Sillohuette I made on Monday was then added to the card using dimensionals. Lastly I added a little piece of tied linen thread to look like a halter. I hope you like it.

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
