Elk Silhouette

A little faux snake skin, couple strands of

Cheery Lynn Designs barbwire 

and an elk die from Cricut Wildlife.

The Bronc Rider

 Images are by Rubber Stamp Avenue, stamped in

Versa Mark and heat embossed with fine line copper powder.

Barbwire is a die from Cheery Lynn designs.

There is a faux snake skin strip towards the 

bottom which adds a real western/man flair.

The phrase is computer generated and is

the cowboy point of view.

Boots

A simple western card.

The boots stamp is from Kitchen Sink.

The labels are from Spellbinders.

The mesh grid and the barbwire

are from Cheery Lynn Designs.

More Chalked Embossing Folders

 I will tell you that I much much much

prefer using Stamp N Plus powdered chalks.

They go on so smooth and even.

Much easier to work with than the regular chalks.

Chalk An Embossing Folder

I embossed the white card stock.

Cut the paper to 4 x 5.25 or slightly smaller.

Now come the stamping part.  I strongly recommend

that a stamp positioner be used.  Of course

you have to realize that if I stamp it crooked, I will 

toss it.  That's my OCD kicking in.

Next is the chalking.

Then layer on a colored card stock

that accents whatever colors you have used

in the chalking.

I added some glitter glue dots

to the upper left corner.

I tend to mass produce these

type of cards.  So there are three different

versions.  You will be seeing the other two in the

days to come.

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy

Well I finally did it.  I bought a Cricut.

Is there a learning curve?  Oh yeah!

Is is fun?  Oh yeah!

The background is various fish stamps scattered

at random.  The edges have been sponged heavily

with light ink applied in the center.

I stamped the fish in various shades of brown, using

the stamp off method make the

stamped images faint.

Just A Little Glitz

Here is another Rubber Stamp Tapestry design.

I have a huge stash of glitter glue and have
found that that is just the perfect finishing touch

for these wonderful tiny stamp pictures.

The phrase is an old old old one from Stampendous.

A healthy stash of small phrase stamps is

a  must for any stamper.

The Lacy Oval  framing the stamped oval

is from Spellbinders.

The layering of papers adds a lot.

I think leaving a narrow border of white

from the white card base pulls the whole
design together.
