Rhinestone Wishes


The tune of Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell rang in my head during the entire time in the making of this card. Not familiar with the lyrics?-here's a portion (you may or may not thank me later as you hum this throughout the day): Like a rhinestone cowboy / Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo / Like a rhinestone cowboy / Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know...

Super simple creation, another card that can be sent through the good ol' postal service without much fuss.

This week's CAS-Tastic Challenge is to "Bling it Up"- use rhinestones, stickles, etc in your creation! There is a random prize of a $15 gift certificate offered up by Whimsy Stamps!
