Texas Forever!

Welcome to the second time for my participation in Texas Tues-Step. You see there is a small group who on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday's are making cards with a Texas theme. And I being a born and raised Texan, I knew I wanted to participate! Since I just did a red, white, and blue color theme with my last card I made for the Memorial Day, I decided to go with totally different colors. I seldom do brown as it is just not my color but today's card with the added turquoise and gold, is very colorful and I do love how it came out! I went with a sketch I have done before. I think the strips of the different coordinating pattern papers gives the card lots of interest. Here is my card ... enjoy!

The card was finished ... well, so I thought. I added the small Texas punched out shape at the last minute and I think it was a good idea. It completes the card. How do you like my little buttons? It's always about the embellishments with me - rhinestones and buttons on the same card? Yes! I finally got to use the beige color linen thread I got a while back. I have used the ivory color many times but with today's color theme, the beige was just what it needed!
