Here are my creations using the Howdy stamp set!! I just love the silhouette!! It is so much fun to create scenes with!!

I used the Sunburst die and sponged it with different hues of orange and yellow to create my background. The rectangular scene is created with the Howdy stamp set as is the circular panel. The clouds in the scene are created with Clouds from the Clouds and Raindrops dies. The star is also sponged and uses the Double Stitched Stars and Sparkling Stars dies layered.

Card Recipe:

ODBD Stamps: Howdy

ODBD Dies Used: Double Stitched Stars, Sparkling Stars Dies, Clouds and Raindrops, Sunburst Die, Double Stitched Circles, Pierced Circles, Pierced Rectangles, Double Stitched Rectangles, Rectangles

My second creation uses the same Howdy stamp set but with a different look. I used a piece of dp from Authentique that reminds me of Southwest with the Houndstooth pattern.

The sentiment panel is cut out with the Squares and Double Stitched Squares dies and is distressed with Tim Holtz ink.
