If you're from Texas, more than likely you've read Texas Monthly magazine. At the end of every year the magazine publishes the Bum Steer Awards for truly outrageous things that have happened in Texas for that year - for example: In a cost-saving move, Texas A & M University decided to stop stocking student dorm bathrooms with toilet paper! Yikes!! Anyway, the TOP Bum Steer Award this year went to the University of Texas Longhorns and the Dallas Cowboy football teams. Talk about a non-winning year for both!! This is NOT good because Texans DO love their football!
So, this little card is dedicated to all the UT Longhorn football fans (burnt orange is the teams colors)! Don't you just love those eyes on this little guy! He looks about as sad as all the Longhorn football fans have looked this year.
This card will actually be a birthday card for my brother in law (a die hard UT football fan). The image is from Kah-Wink-E-Dink. I'm not sure where that patterned paper came from. I colored him with Prismapencils and used SU card stock. The big brad with the star in the middle is from SU.
This is for the following challenges: Creative Inspirations Paint (inspired by a star) and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Thanks for stopping by...............

Lynn, this is the cutest EVER! Love the UT colors and that little guy looks pretty disappointed with his team. :( It has been a tough year for them, that's for sure. I'm sure your brother will get a kick out of this one! I just love everything about this card, right down to that star brad! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute! I love his wacky eyes!! The DP is just perfect Lynn!

Your brother will love this and hopefully bring the smile that it brought me, even if the team did not bring a lot of smiles to their fans. I love the colors, you nailed it and that poor little longhorn with those eyes, just priceless.
