New Boots, and Maybe a Hat

Hello.  Welcome.  Gosh, what happened to the warm spring weather??  Woke up to grey, foggy, definitely jacket weather.  Probably my own fault cos I distinctly remember saying it was hot, at least twice, yesterday.  This has obviously been taken as a complaint.  My apologies.  Can we have the sun back now???  

I have discovered the Artist Trading Post.  I know..... Where Have I been?????...  The challenge is an ATC based on the original trading post.  Anyway, I have been trying with a few ideas the last few days and was getting nowhere fast.    I had been playing with some vintage images I found but this morning, with the deadline looming, I went in a totally different direction.  

I cut my ATC from patterned kraft card.  I stamped the boy from Unity Stamp Co. Determination, also onto kraft card.  Nothing like a colouring challenge to wake you up.  I fussy cut him and added him to the ATC.  I cut three stetsons using the hat die from Cheery Lynn Arizona Cowboy set in shrink plastic, coloured and skrunk them.  The sign is handwritten.  I added a piece of twine coloured with distress ink around the edge and curled it on the ground by our little cowboy's feet.
