Howdy Y'all

Another use of those fantastic five step boot stamps from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

The boots have been stamped in shades of brown using Ranger's Distressed Inks. Cut the image out in a rectangle, layer onto brown card stock and trim the brown to a narrow border. Now layer onto a wood look paper. This is a digital down load and I have no idea where I got it. If you know of a place that has a wood look digital down load please leave me a comment.

Now the wood layer goes onto a medium brown card stock, cut with a decorative scissors, then layer onto the dark brown card stock again. Attach to the top portion of a card base.

Stamp B & J's Art Stamps barbwire image under the boots. Final step - stamp the words at the bottom. I arrange both words on my acrylic at the same time to get them perfectly lined up and spaced.

A Taste of the Old West

It seems that I am entering a western phase in my stamping.
You will still be seeing other cards styles, but my western
stamps and calling, so that is what I am working on right now.

The boots are a five part stamp from
Kitchen Sink Stamps. I really really like
their stamps.

The image has been torn out and the edges sponged
with dark brown and then a narrow sponging of
black to achieve a burned look.
It is then mounted on the corrugated part
of a card board box. I use a floss/pick
to slide between the top layer of the cardboard
and the corrugations.
This layer was torn and sponged as well.

The side borders of both cards a relatively easy
and need no explanation.
Edges of the card base have been sponged with dark
brown ink followed by narrow sponging in black ink.
