One Stitch At A Time Challenge #239

Good Morning,

We have a new challenge over at One Stitch At A Time # 239 Anything Goes/Men.

I chose this very challenging digital stamp by Ike because I want to get my coloring skills up to peak performance again. After having shaky hands from shingles.


This digital stamp is called "Cowboy" and you can purchase it HERE.  I have to admit that it took me three tries to color the horse correctly; but if you love coloring like I do, you will enjoy this challenge!

 I know I am dating myself now, but when I was growing up; we did not have air conditioning and when it just got too hot, Dad would take us to the movies and for 10 cents each we could stay at the movies all day.  There would be a ton of cartoons, then some westerns, then the feature film.  I really liked Dale Evens and Roy Rogers.  At the end of each movie, we got to sing "Happy Trails To You".

So years later, when I was a teenager, I was working in a Roy Rogers Restaurant and Roy himself came in!  He signed my hat!  Life is full of surprises!

 Here is an Up-Close picture of the colored digital stamp:

    Hi Chriss,
    Amazing coloring and a FANTASTIC card my friend!
    I still watch rerun of The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers. When I wake up int he middle of the night and cannot go to bed her in New York there is a channel that shows reruns and I do not miss it.
    My sister jokes about this to our friends. They ask me if it's true that I still watch reruns of those 2 shows and I say yes. Still my favorites!
    I hope that you are feeling better
    Have a wonderful day my friend,
    Migdalia

    Those 10 cents movies bring back a lot of good memories. I loved Dale and Roy too - and also Hopalong Cassidy! LOL!
    Your coloring on the entire image is just fantastic. I think a horse would be the hardest to color and yet, you nailed it. Fabulous card Chriss!

    Didn't have it growing up (of course when my brother and I moved out my parents moved into a house with central air!!!)

    hey gorgeous!!! <3 I knew I recognized this card! Now I can say - yes horses are near impossible to color and you have done one heck of a job - the coloring is spot on. One day a vid perhaps!!!! Love the creation and so glad you did the lyrics to go and brought it to IKES. Love and Hug for my special Gal, best, Samara IKE's DT

    Chriss -- This is a fantastic masculine card! You may have dated yourself but I, too, remember no air conditioning and going to the movies to stay cool. I'm so delighted that you chose to play in our "Father's Day" challenge at Pattie's Creations this month. Good luck and come play again, won't you?
