Pixie Dust Studios - Release Day "On the Prairie"...

Today is release day of the "On the Prairie" collection.....now available HERE from Pixie Dust Studio.

Here is another card I made with one of the images from the collection. I have just used Coredinations cardstock, the image and a ticket sentiment that I created on the PC for this one. The image has been coloured with Copics as always...
Pocket - B93/B95/B97
Frog - YG63/YG67
Snake - E13/E15/E08
The belt was created by running a strip of card through the Big Shot with an embossing folder, then rubbing Versamark ink over, adding embossing powder and then melting with a heat gun to make it look like leather.

As you can see from the angled photo below...I have raised it on 3d foam pads to add dimension.

Also released today is a very special collection designed by Kathy's very talented daughter Payton....aren't they just the cutest...

Just to show you how cute they are...I made this card with one of the images...

The papers are all My Minds Eye "Be Loved" and they are layered with DCWV cardstock. I have added some Tim Holtz "Adage" tickets and a couple of Heidi Grace decorative pins. The images were coloured with Copics using the following colours...
