CFC #46 ~ Name That Tune!

What a fun theme they've give us at Cas-ual Fridays this week...name that tune! Make a card based on a song, how fun is that??!! When I saw this one stamp and one song instantly popped to mind! My quirky little horse from Magenta and the song by America: A Horse With No Name!!

                                     On the first part of the journey                                      

I was looking at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

And the sky with no clouds

The heat was hot and the ground was dry

But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

                                                                              La, la,la...

                                           

Isn't this little fella a hoot!! I don't have a cactus stamp so I drew my own using October Afternoon paper. What's more fun than a polka dot cactus ~ heee! I used this scrap of wavy paper I had to mimic the ripply blown sands of the desert. My sun was made with the negative of a circle punch and chalk. To give it the look of a glaring desert sun I rubbed my Gelly Roll glittery pen on my finger and then rubbed and pulled it from the sun. I did this several times. Just a sun...no clouds as the song says! I gave my "unnamed horse" a touch of glitter pen here and there. His saddle was glazed, crumpled slightly (for a worn leathery look) and popped up for a bit of interest. The pesky "fly with a buzz" is a stick stamp from Stamps by Judith as well as the grass and rocks.

I really enjoyed making it this. Can't get the song out of my head...it's been there for three days. I even woke up in the middle of the night and it was there!!! Happy singing ~Lisa
