Western Valentine

This is my husband's Valentine.

He does not appreciate the frilly detailed cards,

so this is what I came up with.

I had cut a label out from a piece of card stock

and used the left over piece as a stencil.

The two shades of brown and black inks

were sponged on to create the frame for

the horses.  The fine line black heat embossed

image is by Rubber Stamp Avenue.

It was cut out with a Spellbinders oval die

and faux burned with brown and black inks.

When attaching the horses oval to the card

I used flat pieces of  cut up paper egg carton

to create a 3-D effect.

The Valentine greeting is white fine line on

black card stock.  I cut it out as a rectangle

and rounded the edges with the 1/4 inch side

of the corner chomper.

Black "diamonds" on each corner of the  stenciled

portion and a small black glitter paper heart on

the front horses chest are the finishing touches.
