Some Saturday Inspiration

 
Hello and happy Saturday.  Today is a special day in our house, my one and only child is turning 21 today.  Yikes how did he get that old so fast and how in the heck can I have a child that is 21 when I am only 36? LOL.  He is very much into anything western so I made this card for him on his special day.  

I started off by using a post it to mask the skyline and sun, then I sponged the sky with memento cantaloupe, dandelion and tangelo.  For the desert sand I used tangelo and potter's clay.  Finally reversed the post it and very lightly sponged it with dandelion.  I used this weeks sketch from The Sweet Stop.  Today the inspiration challenge on SCS was awesome and I picked this wonderful locket form Urbanrose. The stamps are from Mark's Finest Papers Southwest Cowboy.  Thank you for stopping by and have a super weekend.
