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.

Hunter and Dog card

Today I have yet another offering of cards made for the Stampers Quest Design Challenge for Sweet Grass Stamps.

I really really like those Sweet Grass stamps. Great quality deeply etched rubber that stamps beautifully. You will never be disappointed with their product.

These cards are the same basic design with different scrapbook papers as the card front.


Both have some torn edges that have been sponged. On the second card I did used red paper under the corrugated cardboard to accent the red in the plaid of the background.

I love those pheasant feathers. They are so beautiful. It has to be God's hand in the making of them as I have never seen anything man made that is as perfect or attractive.
