This week at Dude Time Doodles Challenges we're All about Cowboys!
Hmm, I wonder if Dude Time Hollow has cattle drives, or perhaps the more adrenaline-inducing version of Running with the Bulls. Hey, you gotta get the buggers across town one way or the other, so you might as well have a coupla drinks and watch the young 'uns get some exercise while doing it! That sounds jes fine to Deputy Dave; so's long as no one musses his snakeskin boots!
I was really inspired by the Challenge photo (left), but anything with cowboys will do. Wait till you see the fun and wildly creative projects the Design Team came up with!
We're being sponsored this week by PaperTemptress, and one lucky winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to their store.
So kick up yer heels and join us at Dude Time Doodles this week!
The star badge and sentiment are also from Dude Time Doodles/Bonibleaux Designs; I merged and sized everything in InDesign. I added a little Tea Dye distress ink to the pieces, which I cut out with scissors & a craft knife. Both woodgrain DPs were in my stash.
I wanted Deputy Dave to dance a little, so I cut him apart and attached the arm and leg section with brads so that they jiggle.
Look at 'im go!
I traced his hat onto felt (which I'd backed with cardstock) and added the black lines with a Copic. I'm particularity excited about his boots: I used a glossy, basketball-pattern embossed DP and colored it with Olive green (thanks to my husband for helping me choose the right color).
He's colored with Copics; I made the plaid on his shirt, and used the colorless blender to add texture to his jeans.

Fantastic! Love how he moves around and the felt hat. Oh so clever!
