for this layout i used the amazing "french kiss" paper line from glitz design. i shaped the edges of the background paper with martha stewart's “CHERISH” corner punch and “STARS” edge punch and stitched the frame with red tread. then i stamped the western collage from HC western collage set to the left bottom corner and a few of the rock scenery images to the right bottom corner with different colours COLORBOX pigment inkpads.

i cut a piece of blue pattern paper 17 x 22 cm, punched its edges with martha stewart's  “cherish” edge set and created a pattern by stamping it with HC my guy precut set. then i cut another piece of red pattern paper {13 x 18 cm}, drew a frame with white pen on it and placed it on top of the blue rectangle. i distressed the edges of the picture and adhere it on top of the pattern paper rectangles.

the banners are made with two stripes of brown cardstock {2.5 x 8 cm and 2.5 x 7 cm} and two stripes of pattern paper {2 x 8 cm and 2 x 7 cm } and star-shaped brads.

for the flowers - i stamped different sized flowers on pattern papers {HC daisy patch flowers precut set and HC carnation florals 2 precut set}, die cut them using HC daisy patch die and spellbinders carnation creation shapeabilities, shaped the petals with an embossing pen and assembled the flowers with a brad.

then i stamped 1 big and 2 small horses with HC western bronco set and 2 boots and a hat with HC birch tree precut set. die cut them with HC western broncos die and my cuttlebug. for the foliage - i die cut leafy branches from olive green cardstock, embossed the leaves and arranged them around the picture. i added the flowers and the horses on top of them.

the tag is cut with spellbinders fancy tags two shapeabilities. got the sentiment i used HC western bronco precut set. i added stickles “turquoise”glitter glue on the swirls of the tag to match the blue accents on my layout, as well to the boots and the hat at the top right corner.

i added turquoise rhinestones to finish off the page.
