You should have arrived here from Kim's Costello's blog and started at Kim Dellow's blog.

Reminder: There is candy on both store store blogs right now SCACD and Quixotic Paperie through the 31st.

For my card I chose this cute little cowgirl "Howdy" from the Elisabeth Bell Sampler Edition #5 and she is also available at Quixotic Paperie.
She is colored with Copics and accented with a little VIVA Glitter Gel. The two red buttons are from my stash that I sanded, then I punched some dp and added a little pearl with my VIVA GLITTER PEN. I used the same pen for the outline around the background of the stamp and the paper embellishment. The border was made using my MS punch and then I added some pearls with the VIVA PEARL PEN - GOLD. These pens are so versatile. I am still learning how to use them, but there are some great videos here on the store. They are really really easy I just haven't had much time with vacations, etc. to play with them. To finish off my card I added a little gold cowboy hat and bows made with the Bow Easy. The VIVA PRODUCTS are available at both SCACD and QUIXOTIC PAPERIE.

Hope you are having fun visiting the blogs. Now, from here you will go to Marti's blog.

Be sure and check the store blog HERE Sunday and also HERE for another CANDY event celebrating SHE'S BACK BETTER THAN EVER RELEASE.

I appreciate you stopping by.

Hugs,
