Hi, I used part of a board bg stamp to make my border all the way around. I used a stamp aligner to make them straight and post-its to mask off the top and bottom boards that I stamped first. I stamped the cowboy set in the middle then die cut it out and colored all, sponged the edges with Vintage Photo Distress, added foam tape to the frame and twine then attached and added the metal "concho" to the knot, placed my image inside the cutout oval and then decided it needed a sentiment. I die cut the words (Little B) with aqua like my matting and called it done!
Thanks for looking!

This one made me smile! What a delightful, western themed image, Robin. Brilliant framing and LOVE the twine and button, so perfect for this. Your coloring- phenomenal!

Awesome masculine western card. I like the framing of your art work, and the boots are kicking! The aqua is the perfect pop of color, the silver concho and twine are the finishing embellishments that make this card awesome!
