I combined this weeks limited supply challenge (no holiday card, no green or red, no holiday sentiment) and this weeks sketch challenge. I found this silhouette cowboy stamp in my stock (Thank you DH). I stamped it with vintage sepia and clear embossed. Sponged edges with creamy caramel, vintage sepia and chocolate chip. Distressed edges, matted with more mustard and chocolate chip. Next panel is CC and Textured sepia?. Main card is CC, next textured sepia and SU More mustard dp. I stamped the dp with the Weathered Bg with more mustard ink. All edges were sponged, distressed and stitched. The larege dp panel and image panel are up on pop dots. Added the snaps, star eyelets and twine.

Fabulous card, love the colours and the image you have used, that rope is perfect as are the brads, star eyelets and stitching. This is a great challenge card on both counts, it has such a nice vintage/earthy feel to it! Thanks for sharing!

I love this distressed beauty. Love the earthy color palette, your distressing and choice of embellishments. The brads and the 'rope' just complete this fabulous card.
